Even though that is not my preferred method. I have a SCSI burner and a FW/USB combo burner. I use them for data backups. If I am backing up data for a client I use external HD's...not burners. I have one of each flavor. FW, SCSI, USB. It never fails. One little case of backup equipment allows me to backup pretty any machine I have to deal with. -- ============================================================== Kyle H.
