3- THREE CDRWs should be used to record the daily backups

2- TWO of them should be kept at home. Drive the discs home nightly, preferably in a station wagon because they have higher bandwidth

1- ONE CDRW is burning data in real time. Make sure mirroring is set up so the CDRW is mirroring your live hard drive

What do I do if all I have are PS1 memory cards?

Make a PS1 Beowulf cluster and turn it into a NAS.

If you run out of PS1s, consider furbies.
