Never heard of star...  Im googleing now.  The big rub seems to be on 
"stacking" with a CDRW.  You can do multisession, but that seems to cause 
amusing problems near the end of the disk.

I picked up a CDRW this morning to play with some ideas... The goal being to 
see if I can at least perform a full multicd backup first... Then move on to 
differential backups.  

Someone also talked about BRU... I think I have a demo of it that came with 
SuSE so Ill try that too.

Ill post my results I guess.
