Im sorry not to give an answer, but why not using only cron? it is
because it can't handle writing it to the dvd?
cron is a scheduling program. It doesn't know anything about files, let
alone backup.
The philosophy of Unix has historically been to build lots of little
specialized tools and then glue them together with script to create full
applications. So cron would typically be used to provide the scheduling
part of a larger backup application. The file part might include tar or
dump. The DVD part might include cdrecord.
