Albert, I LOVE CDs for development backup.  Since source is relatively
small, it's very easy to have daily (or even more frequent!) backups of
source to CD, and at a nickel a disc or less, it's a wonderful way to have
archival history.

On the other hand, backing up critical data might be more problematic.
Multi-volume backups are more difficult - you can just store more data on
tape.
