Question HP CD-Writer Plus 7500 series

I have RH 7.1 kernel 2.4 up and running. Now I'm ready to start
backing my filesystems up.

I have a HP CD-Writer Plus 7500 that I would like to use as
backup media.

Is there a way that I can configure this CD writer to talk to redhat
?

Is there drivers available for this thing and if so what would be
the step by step procedures to getting it up and running.

HOWTO do it
There are no drivers for this particular thing. The linux kernel will recognize the burner as a cdrom and you'll need to use a program like cdrecord to burn data to a disk. Your 7500 is compatible.

Read the CD-Writing HOWTO (http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO.html), download cdrecord from http://www.freshmeat.net and you should be well on your way! Enjoy.
