Backup Utility

[Ivan]

I would like to perform periodic full system backups. I
have installed the Backup Utility. I have read the
publication Q320820. I would like to backup to CD
(probably multiple CDs). I am using Backup Utility as
system administrator.

Using either the Backup Wizard or the Advanced Mode under
Backup Wizard, I get the following message:

The backup file menu could not be used.
"D:\Backup.bkp"
Please ensure it is a valid path and that you have
sufficient access.

Please help. I am worried my system is starting to get
buggy and I need to get everything fully backed before I
address the other problems.

Many thanks,

IVAN

Is D:\ your CD-ROM drive

If so, BackupNT does not support backing up directly to CD-ROM drives

Put .bkp file on your hard drive and then copy it to your CD-ROM

Thanks for your help, Jim. Just to be sure, I wanted to
clarify that I am using XP, not NT. Also, when I copy
the .bkp file to CD-ROM, is multi-volume supported,
because I will need a few CDs for the entire set.
(Sorry if this message is repeated - Imay have lost the
previous message).

Regards,

Ivan

The correct name of the program is ntbackup. The version that installs with
XP Pro (or is installable from the XP Home CD) is designed to work with
Windows XP. You can span CDs if your burning software supports that
function.
