Looking for Backup Software

[JamesJ]

I've looked and looked and looked with no success.
I'm looking for backup software that will back up folders and or files
to my cd-rw or my dvd-rw. I want the software to automatically prep the
rw and then copy.
I DON'T WHAT THESE BACKUPS TO BE ARCHIVED. I simply want
to copy them as is from c: No need for scheduling or copying
to the internet.

Any help will be appreciated

Hi, James,

You've looked at and rejected ZipBackup? If you're not familiar with it,
a description and a free trial download are available here:
http://www.zipbackup.com/

Hope this of help to you.

'Cause it goes through 3 steps. Erase, format and then copy.
I want a program that will do all three without interruptions.

Nice program! I'll give it a trial try.

Thanks,
James

Confusing post. Why would anyone copy personal files to anywhere on the
internet?

Think the response from Shel was assuming you have INCD or some other
equivalent already running. 2 options at that point. Whatever app is
creating such file can be written directly to CD/DVD, and its normal
location on the C: partition as well. Also, windows explorer can copy it to
CD/DVD in that case.

The nice thing about windows interaction with CD writing (not DVD) is that
you don't have to have windows and the INCD or equivalent running to read
it.

Hi James,


What about Nero BackItUp ?
I read about it and plan to test it this week.
It's also on OEM versions but first check to make sure it is included.

HTH,

So, you're copying system and application files?

No, my data files to my removable media. (CD-R or DVD-R)

I will consider this. The suite came with the drive but there was just to
many
apps that I really didn't need.

Thanks for putting the bug in my ear.
