Back Up

[Tom]

Is there any way to back up everything to a CD-RW ?

If not how can I tell I have successfully backed up
everything to my hard drive?

Thanks

NTBackup doesnt see a CD writer or DVD writer as backup medium. You can
either purchase third party software to do complete backup's to CD's. Or
third party CD
writing software (Nero 6 with InCD, Easy CD Creator 6 w/ Drag 2 Disc) that
will allow you to span 1 file to multiple CD's. If you chose to purchase CD
burning software, then all you do is backup to your hard drive and copy it
over with the third party CD software.
