Hi...

Is it possible to make a entire backup of my C: on my CD Writer? if yes how
do i do this.

Thanks..

If you hope the backup will completely recover yr disk in case of a failure
it wont. For that you need a third party app eg Ghost.
You cannot use msbackup to write to cd other than by backing up to disk,
then burning to cd
As for whether it will all fit on a cd, who knows, depends whats on C

MSBAckup won't do this, for several reasons. Ghost is good, but requires a
cold shutdown. I'd try the disk backup utility included with Nero Burning
Rom -- I've never tried it but its supposed to be good for normal use.

Out of curiosity, wouldn't it be cheaper and faster to just add a second
hard drive of equal or greater size and backup all data to that?

I remember the old days when we would back up our 60 MB RLL drives to 40 or
50 floppies, and it seems that backing up todays large hard drives on CDs is
just as awkward.

For me, Backup MyPC from Veritas works well
