Does anyone know of an open source backup solution that a) works on  
Macs and b) can archive off to DVDs?

I have a lot of content that doesn't change, many media files, and I  
want to back it up to DVDs. The software has to be able to span  
multiple DVDs automatically, so I can just say "back up this volume"  
and just spend the rest of the month swapping out disks. (grin)

I read this article:

http://adterrasperaspera.com/blog/2006/10/30/how-to-choose-cddvd-archival-media

and have decided on Taiyo Yuden DVD+R disks.

The main thing I need is the ability to do incremental backups. So if  
I add some new video, photos or music I don't have to rip the whole  
thing again.

Suggestions?
