Re: Backing up to CD

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

The 6330 DVD drive is not the big juke box thing that IBM has.  This looks 
just like the normal CD drives that all iSeries have.  Except for the big 
DVD letters on the front.  We don't order new machines with just the CD 
drives anymore.

Burning a CD is not trivial ... and I think it requires a tape drive to be
used for temporary storage.

Maybe you want to look at optical storage, which (I think) is different.
