I did hear about companies like Hitachi developing faster and larger
backups on cd technology about a few years ago, but I havent heard anything
lately.  Otherwise regular cd media can only hold up to around 800 MB of
data, and DVD capacity peaks around 5 GB per side (or around 10 GB per
disk).  How much data are your full monthly or yearly backups?
