Peter, I jumped on the CD-R band wagon about a year ago and have been very happy with this data storage medium. The recommendation for me at the time was to use a program called Adaptec Toast. This program came with the CD-R writer that I bought (the brand name of my drive is Smart and Friendly and it cost about $350.00 US). It has worked flawlessly since I bought it. I just drag the files to back up into a window in the Adaptec Toast program and say write CD and it does everything else by itself. My CD writer is connected to an 8600 PPC. The data must first be copied onto the hard drive since the CD writer needs data at a constant rate and for me only the hard drive is fast enough. Hope this helps and good luck.
