Is there a freeware burner that you can set certain files and folders to be
copied to CDR/RW and have multisession to update later(same files and folders)?

For Win98SE.

Thanks in advance,

If you're talking about incremental backups, you may have to couple it
with a filesync package but CDBurnerXP Prox works well for multisessions.

Maybe, but it seems the wrong aim.

If the stuff is important enough to write to CD, it's important enough to
be unerasable; the fickle finger trouble of fate will always get you one
day.

With hundreds of Megs on a CD, why not just append the latest version, it
will be datestamped, and you'll keep your archive.

When the disc is full invest 20p in another one. :-)

But,

I recall that, despite what you might think, CDRWs actually deliver
better permanence than CDRs do. However, I found to my amazement that
it's virtually impossible to unerase an accidentally deleted file. That
came as a shock, because the operations seem to be obeying all the laws
of DOS. I'm not certain that the handling is universal -- I guess that
it's a "pseudo-DOS." I noticed that Roxio's Direct CD Format module has
a couple of recovery utilities, including an unerase. I don't know how
well it works, though.

Never got that unerase, or recover to work for me. That`s the reason i
bought myself a USB drive. Hate losing all my backup stuff.

Uhm, enlighten me here. What excactly are "the laws of DOS"? Thy shalt not
make use of long file names?

My real point is that it's _totally_ impossible to erase a cd-r, so you'll
never worry about unerasing.

And if you keep appending your latest backups, you have an audit trail of
archived docs automatically.

All for 5 for a quid, 50 for sick squid.
