Hello,

I am hoping someone can assist please.
I am using the backup utility that comes with windows xp;
i wish to backup to a CD-RW;
i don't get how this works, however, it seems that one backs up the files to
a backup file on my 'c' drive....and then supposedly i then put that on the
cd !!!

why don't they make these things really easy ??

anyway, any help would be good please.

Greetings --

WinXP's NTBackup does not recognize CDRs or CDRWs as valid backup
media. By design, it will only write back-ups to tape drives or
another physical or logical hard drive. Many people back-up to a
spare hard drive, and then burn the resulting file to a CD, as a
work-around. Another option, of course, is to use a 3rd party backup
solution.
