Hi.
Recently I got a DVD rewriter (Emprex DRW1116IM) and tried to backup to it.
I was able to format the DVD, but when I tried to backup I got the message
'G: is not a valid drive, or you do not have access'. I was logged in as
Administrator, the driver is shown as Microsoft 5.0.2183.1

Can somebody please give me some hints about were to go from here?

You'll probably need to backup locally and then copy the file to DVD.
