Re: USB so slow + DVD backup

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


If I can't use USB ports, then I'd like to use DVDs, but I am still
looking for
a good program, one that can erase a file from the DVD after noticing
it was
from the hard disk.
-> 4. would anynone know of such a program?


Imgburn will do what you are looking for and it's free ~ 'The Official
ImgBurn Website' (http://www.imgburn.com)


I am using Nero on another machine with XP SP3, but it seems to
malfunction:
each time I back up a directory onto a dedicated DVD, I find that the
program
uses up more and more space, though the backed up files are listed only
once, so
that after a few times the DVD is full with just the same files,
although said
files are of course not 4,7Gb big; then I have to erase the DVD and do
it all
over again.
-> 5. would anyone know why Nero does that, and how I could change it?
I can't
seem to find any parameters that I could alter.



Sounds like you may have multisession enabled....not a good idea.
Again Imgburn should fit the bill.
