John, Nero is fine and safe. You should have received a copy of Nero OEM with most DVD drives, so there's no need to purchase the retail version.

I'd suggest never actually using the Nero GUI, but the command line version to write a DVD like this:

C:\Progra~1\Ahead\Nero\nerocmd --write --drivename g -- force_erase_cdrw --real --underrun_prot --create_iso_fs --iso JVD -- verify --dvd --recursive e:\backup

In this example the DVD drive is G:, it will erase a RW disk if it finds one, do a recursive backup of e:\backup and verify it.

You should of course snapshot your database/s to e:\backup first - this can be done using a command line in the same script.

regards,
Peter.

Greg,
While you are in such a magnanimous advising mode:

What would you recommend as a "safe" prog for burning data to DVDs from the SBS 2003 server? I have avoided one to date and use Symantec Live State
Recovery Advanced Server for backing up images direct to dvd etc

I do have some files I would like to archive and although these can be
copied direct to DVD ram I would like to burn some to DVD -or +R which are
cheaper.

Is standard Nero for example safe and compatible on sbs 2003?

Thanks    John
