can xcopy write to a shared CD on another computer?

[Guest]

I have an office network set up. I can use xcopy to write files from one
computer to another OK using xcopy. What I want to do is write these backup
files to a CD drive that I've set up as shared. Not all computers on the
network have writable CD drives!

I get error message -"Invalid Drive Specification" when I use this command
from a .BAT file:

xcopy c:\mydirectory \\secondcomputer\cdwriter /i /e /k /r /n

I've read all the help data for xcopy and shared resources but can't seem to
get around the problem. Can I write directly to a CD this way. This syntax
works if I substitute Diskx where cdwriter shows above.

Also, could I write these files across the internet to another computer
thereby passing the CD backup all together? If yes, would you point me to
helps?

Within the batch file, I would log onto the cd writer, then run the command
without destination.

e.g.
\\secondcomputer/g:
xcopy c:/mydocs /i /e /k /r /n
