Having backup woes with cdrw drive, either the drive wont read discs or the USb one I have put on - is not backing up to disc-  even though its been recognised by doing a cdrecord -scanbus and making the changes to cd utils

So - was thinking - as I pay for webspace, looking at say - making user X - their whole directory backup to a tar file, and then uploading via ftp to that webspace?

Does anyone do this and if so - care to post your script?
