I'm using CD-R's, although I have a few re-writeables which I haven't
used much. I assume when you say use ISO9660, you mean the 8.3
character format. I have been using the xxxx.xxx format, but not
necessarily with 8 characters before the decimal. Maybe I'll try
that.
I do a great percentage of my business by email, so the most common
thing I'm backing up is Eudora, just the Eudora folder, not the
application. This is because a lot of decisions are being made by
email, and I want to have a record of them in electronic form. Also,
my Eudora fills up quickly as I'm on so many lists, so I often back
up and then delete the older stuff after about 8 days.
Other than that my backups are incremental.

>>7300 as Extended and I can still read all the sessions.
