>From my experience, CD-RW is a good option for backing up small 
operations, typically just the data, not the OS itself. But, if 
you want to do OS and data backups, best to store to tape as they 
can hold more per backup. CD-RW is usually good for those systems 
that don't have too much data, etc. In short, the answer to that 
question is survey your own backup needs and see if you could 
effectively use CD-RW backup.
