[lug] Redhat 8 and CD writer

[Gordon Golding]

I have a couple of questions.  Anybody can give some guidance?

We have a windows PC with Redhat 8.0
We want to back it up.  We'd very much like to use something other than tape; we'd like it compatible with microsoft PCs.
We can't attach a USB 2.0 external drive because it doesn't "quite" work. 

Would a USB 1.1 external drive be supported by Redhat 8.0?

The windows PC reads the CD just fine.  As far as I know, the CD is HSFS.  If we used a PC with a CD/DVD RW, that would allow us to backup the Server - we wouldn't need the external drive.

If the CD works, should a CD-RW work?  Would the DVD RW work?
