Backup

[F. David]

that's right! Microsoft will not allow backups to be
made to CDRW or DVDRW. The workaround is creating the

Screwy, I know, more people should contact MS at
to see if a grass roots effort can
change that annoying policy.

reply button. That's why it's there and you were able to
continue the thread. Or am I missing something?
