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

Unfortunately, you can't. CDs aren't supported as a backup media by that
utility.

That'd be an expected error as the utility doesn't recognise the media
type.

You'll need to use an app that *can* write to CD. For example, Backup Plus
works well and is not expensive.

Backup to a folder on the hard drive and then burn that folder to cd.
Windows backup doesn't allow direct backup to cd.
