in dar's page there are some scripts that create dar-based backups and 
cdrecord/cdrdao aware. I remember cdbackup and dvdbackup being available in 
uni/multiverse repositories. These simple backup utilities should be very 
configurable to suit most people's needs, while not getting too informative.

Check out http://dar.linux.free.fr/doc/index.html

If you don't mind burning the dar slices yourself and like GUI, Kdar is 
probably one of the best bets. I personally don't mind using k3b for 
recording some slices, but that's just me.
