Backup tips

•All of the discs used in a Back Up Files project must be the same general format.

•In a multi-disc Back Up Files project, files are assigned based on the size of the first disc you use. If your first disc has a capacity of 650 MB, for example, no more than 650 MB will be burned on any subsequent disc, even if it has a larger capacity. This also means that no disc in a project can have a smaller capacity than the first disc used in a project.

•Discs used in a Back Up Files project are closed once they are recorded. If you use write-once discs, you will not be able to add additional data.

•To view a list of the files on a Back Up Files disc, open the .RFI file placed on the disc.
