Backup to CD using WindodwsXP BackUp utiltiy

[Phill]

How can I use Windows XP Backup and have it back up to CD? Or multiple CD's?

Whenever I try this I get an error message after giving it a file name that
the Filename or Path is invalid.

Thanks

NTBackup doesnt support writing to CD's.

Is there no way to off load to a CD ?

Sorry, I just found an answer. A 3rd party program such as Norton Ghost 2003
or Powerquest's Drive Image.
Thanks anyway,

Not with NTBackup by itself. You can backup to a folder and burn to folder
to CD's it you have a programs that will span burns, such as EZ CD or Nero
6.

Backup to a folder on your disk drive , then burn to a cd. Or . .. . buy
a backup program. Jym

Thanks for your fast response Chris, is a 3rd party program acceptable as
mentioned above ?

You might want to try True Image (www.acronis.com/products/trueimage
). It is very good value for money.
