| | Posted: | | | | DVD burning is not directly supported, but you can back up to a file on your hard drive and then use windows explorer or other software to burn the file to a DVD. |

Select "Specific Location" instead, and enter a path just like for any disk drive. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

"Removable" should be removed, it's purpose died with the floppy-disk. @Bud54 There is a possibility to mount a DVD-R[W] with UDF(I think) so that the empty disc looks like a simple HDD to the system. But in the end I'd prefer to do the backup to the HDD and burn it afterwards, together with the backups of all your other data. cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
