Publisher's description of Backup to DVD/CD

From Willow Creek Software: Backup To DVD/CD backs up exactly what you want, proves it's restorable, and keeps you safe. We save folders and files, do multi-disc backups, split and compress big files, and make incremental backups. But are you sure your backup has the right folders and files on it? Will you be able to restore from it if you ever need to? You don't want surprises. We make sure. For example, our Wizard creates a Backup Plan by searching your entire computer for folders with the kinds of files you want to save. You don't have to remember where you put things. Backup Plans also adapt automatically when you create, delete, move or rename folders and files, so you don't have to remember to fix them afterward.

Backups can be fully automated and scheduled, so they're easy enough to do every day if you want. You can also check old backups to prove they're still restorable. You can even see what's on them with Windows Explorer, and open files on them directly from your favorite programs. Version 5.1.229 enhances user interface.

  Backup to DVD/CD

  Consistently backs up to DVD-Rs, simple, resource lite, good for small business.

  by: cspete1 on 09-Apr-2008 05:36:19 AM

  Pros: I ran into a situation at a small business that wanted an unattended weekly backup of a share drive on a simple winXp network. Cost was a consideration and they did not want off-site network storage. So I set up Backup to DVD/CD to burn the approx. 1.2GB to a DVD every week. The files are just shared spreadsheets and docs, which only reached 1.2GB after 5 years, so exceeding the storage limit of a DVD-R was not a near term problem.

  In conclusion, works great and easily automated with win task scheduler.

  All they have to do is replace the DVD that pops out every week, and an employee takes it home for some level of off-site data security.

  Good, easy solution for a small business on a budget,

  and no IT staff to speak of.

  Works fine with Pioneer DVR-1910LS

  Cons: Burned some coasters at 16X and 12X, but that could simply be related to cheap media. Gets consistent burns at 10X. Takes over 20 minutes for 1.2GB at 10X, but just set it up to run after business hours.
