[wdvltalk] RE: OT: Copy/Backup Software Recommendations Please
You mean Nero won't let you burn a directory/folder and all of the files in it to a cd just as a copy operation? For the type of clients you describe a copy rather than a back up would be the best way. FWIW, I prefer to back-up by making copies since I've had horrible luck with compressed back-ups and recovering files. If you are running Windows XP you can do it using the built-in utility by right clicking on the top level folder you want to copy and using Send To and selecting your cd burner as the destination. Then open the cd burner drive and use File | Write these files to CD (if you are using classic interface otherwise there will be a link in the sidebar). When you are done it will ask you if you want to make another copy or delete the file from (only the pointers on what to burn not the originals). XP isn't the fastest way to burn a cd, using Roxio's EZ CD or EZ Media Creator burns faster. Cheryl D.

I'm using W2k but I get the idea - I'll give it a try. Thanks.

I don't remember if W2K had cd burning built-in but I guess you'll find out. Otherwise, take a look at Roxio's offering. Cheryl D.
