- Windows Backup Utility
- Posted by cam on February 7th, 2006
I'm stymied! When I try to select files for backup to my CD-RW drive, using
the Windows BACKUP utility, I get the message "The backup file name could
not be used. Please ensure it is a valid path, and that you have sufficient
access". Maybe it's telling me that the files will need more space than one
CD, but I don't know fopr sure. And the file name path questions?????
Help!

You can't backup to a CD.It is intended for backing up to a tape.

Ntbackup will only backup to CD if third party packet writing software
in installed, and even then it will only write to a single CD - it can't
span multiple CDs.

Works well. Can span multiple CDs or DVDs. Price is reasonable.

Actually you can backup to CD (but not DVD) using NTBackup. However you
need a work-a-round. See here

Hello D. Spencer Hines,
You can, on InCD formated CD+RW or DVD+RW.
Install Ahead Nero InCD, format DVD+RW, and any program can write on it.
You can symply drag&drop items on DVD.
