Re: Mac RB: backup to Images like a removable media?

[Matthew Tevenan]

André,

What model CD-R drive is this? We've added a nice new section to the Dantz
website, "Backing up to CD-R/RW," and it gives you a lot clearer picture of
not only what devices we do support, but those we don't, plus those that are
currently in qualification testing. Check it out at

<http://www.dantz.com/index.php3?SCREEN=cdr_info>

Backing up to disk images, then burning those images to CDs, is not
recommended mainly since it's a lot more work than simply performing a
direct backup to CD.

I'll be contacting you off-line to discuss alternatives.

Mac RB: backup to Images like a removable media?

[Andre Mueller]

Hello

I have an USB/Firewire CD-R drive which is not supported at the moment
by Retrospect Backup for Macintosh (to state more precisely, the CD-R
drive manufacturer does not provide a driver for Retrospect).

Although I would like to make backups to this drive. Therefor I thought
it would be reasonable to make backups first to several Disk Image files
of 640 MB each in order to have the backup data divided in portions as
it is needed for CD-ROM burning . As far as I can see, Retrospect  4.2
does not support any removable media other than those mounted over SCSI?
Is that right or is there some workaround in order to have backups to
multiple removable media items not mounted from SCSI drive?

Many thanks in advance and regards, André
