Is it safe to assume that drive "E" is a CDRW drive? NTBackup can't
write to a CDRW directly, unless you have installed a third-party
packet-writing application. Even then, you can only use ONE CDRW,
limiting you to what, around 700mb of data. Not very useful if one is
trying to back up their system drive.
