For backups, I create a compressed tarball, split that up to DVD size, and burn the DVDs. For each DVD, I verify it on the drive that burned it and then with a different drive. Verification is done by running 'diff' between the original tarball fragment and the file from the mounted DVD. Except for a drive going bad, it is rare to see a coaster. -- Robert Riches spamtrap42@jacob21819.net (Yes, that is one of my email addresses.)
