I'm assuming you are talking about the ".backup" files created from backing up a PGSQL DB? Just save the file to CD using your CD-writer software. If the file is too big to fit on a single CD then get something like WINRAR and tell it to create an (uncompressed) archive which is split every ~700MB. Then write each of the WINRAR archive parts to a separate CD.

What juk said.

Also, I'd advise you to save your HH files in a similar way. I zip up all my HH files per month and it's generally just quite small files, a few MB only.

That way you can always still fall bak on them, the raw source of your poker database.
