batch file to burn data to cd player

[jhardy012003]

Hi

i am a newbie.

I want to automate backing up to a cd player and burn to
CD.

I want to create a folder on c: drive called backups.

Then i want to copy all of my data from c drive to this
folder.

Then i want to burn this data from the folder to the cd
player.

I want to be able to do a multisession CD burn.

I am using windows 2000 and i am using Roxio Easy CD
Creator.

Can anyone help me to write a simple batch file i can
just double click on my desktop and it will start the
burn process of my data?

How is this done?

Hi

i am a newbie.

One of the first things to learn as a newbie is that multi-posting will get
you flamed. Here's a quote about multi-posting, what it is, and why it's
considered rude.

<quote>
When you post identical messages to different newsgroups independently, many
people waste their time downloading and reading a message they have either
already read, already answered, or didn't know was already answered in
another group.
Have some consideration for the people who are giving freely of their time
and knowledge to help solve your problems - post to ONE *on-topic* group --
if it's not an appropriate group, someone will guide you to a more useful
group in which you will be more likely to get a speedy, accurate answer.
Mutli-posting often gives the impression that you are impatient and that
your question is more important than those of every other user who is
following netiquette guidelines respectfully.

Hi

sorry, was not aware.

The reason i did this is because i am finding it hard to
find answers. I thought i may get an answer from one of
the groups.

No bad intentions were intended.

thanks

Not a problem. I'm not surprised that you're having a hard time finding an
answer to this. For the backup part, take a look at ntbackup.exe. Then the
task will be copying a .bkf file to a CD. I'm 99.999% sure that ntbackup
does not support a cd burner as a backup device, since 2000 doesn't have any
built-in way of burning CDs.

I really prefer to say writer. A player can't burn.

A valuable source for burning cd's via batch is http://www.nu2.nu/bcd/
It uses cdrecord and cygwin. You have to get acustomed to the folder
structure. Once set up right it is a one click action to burn (even
slipstreamed multi-os-bootable) cd's.

But thats no newbie stuff i've to say.
