Hi,

        I couldn't find the info in the archives, so here goes.

I'm sure many of you do this, but I'm looking for info on writing
CD-R's from DEC Alphas, to be used for cheap backups. (since they're
about $1/disk)

1) What software do I need

2) which CD-R recorders are good for DEC's (or does it matter?)

3) are there features the drive needs to have in order to write Unix
directories? (format, etc?)

4) What do I need to do in order for the files be readable on Mac's and PC's.

5) Can I write incrementally or do I have to write all at once?

6) any other gotcha's or things I should know before I buy one?


thanks!
Chester Liu
