That is correct. NTBackup was around long before CDRW drives were popular
and has never been updated to use them. Nero's backitup cannot backup open
files of which there are many when Windows is running. There is no spell
checker, virus checker, spread***, or satellite tracking software built in
to Windows either. Some things need to be purchased. The best you can do
with what you have is backup your data. If you need to restore to a previous
configuration then you would have to perform a clean install of Windows and
your programs then restore the backed up data.
