Thanks.  Dar (especially the incremental features) and cdbackup both
look interesting.  I also found a program called Cedar Backup
(http://cedar-solutions.com/software/cedar-backup/) while looking for
Dar; it is specifically designed for regular backup to CD or DVD.
Thanks to everyone for the info.  It'll take me a bit of time to sort
through it.
