Backup failure

[Guest]

When I try to backup my system, I get the following error report below. I am
backing up onto CDs and have never tried to backup before, so am unaware of
when this problem began. I have attempted at least 8 times, all with the
same results. I have had no problems burning CDs with any other
applications. Any help would be appreciated. alison-j @ mail. wsu. edu

If you are using the built in Ntbackup it does not support backing up to
cdrom devices. See the link below for more details. You could backup to a
folder and then manually burn the backup file to a CD. --- Steve
