Backup to CD

[filbert]

How do I backup files to a CD-R/RW using MS Backup Utility?

I had the same question as filbert. I understand your answer, but it does not do what I want. I recently upgraded to XP, but in Win98 I used the software that came with my CD Recorder. Everytime I exited my financial software it promped me to back it up
, and I used a CD-RW to do it. I didn't have to copy it to my hard drive and then burn to the CD-RW. I understand that Win XP won't do that, but how do I disable it so my CD Recorder software still will? Or is that just not possible with XP? You see I
get out of my financial software many times a day and it was very handy to use that CD-RW as a floppy back-up. (1.44 Mb wasn't big enough anymore)

Answer: You CANNOT.

Backup the file to the hard drive and then burn the resulting file to the
CD. NO version of Windows has ever supported backing up directly to a CD.
