Larry, by design the MSBackup utility does not support cd/cdrw/dvdr media. You might be able to add it to the list but it won't work properly. See this MS KB article:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q182624 Windows 2000 and XP have not added these media to the supported media list either. Windows backup considers media of this type to be read only and such will not backup to it. XP: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q315255&; Win2k: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q262006&; Peter Kaulback ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
