Or avoid backing up things that don't really need it. Archiving what's to be backed up may be best anyway.

Just dumping files direct to DVD would lose some of them, its filesystem doesn't support them. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
