Backup

[Karin]

Hi

How do I back up to CDRW? I thought if I had a CD writing
program which I have (InCD) that I would be able to do
it. Do I need to format the CD first? (I have anyway!)
When I go to Back up on Systems tools the only device I
get the option to back up to is A/ drive - pls help !

Tks

PowerQuest Drive Image Version 7.
Also, use CD-R or DVD-R as they cost less than the RW versions.

I Back up to a CDRW using INCD by first formatting the disk=20
Next to the little window that says A\ drive is a browse button with it =
I direct the backup program to my CDRW drive and all goes well.Of course =
you must watch the size of the backup it must match the size of the =
CDRW.The backup will not span across 2 or more CDRW.For larger backups I =
have a 2nd HD..removable

Hi

Yes I saw the dropdown window but it didnt drop down to
any other options !!!! Other guys are saying not enough
room on CD to back up but I suppose it depends on what I'm
backing up of course! Getting so frustrated with all this
as everything I try never works 1st time - aggghhhhh!!!
