You might not be able to use the "Disc Backup" function of TOSHIBA
Disc Creator to back up a DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R,
DVD+R DL or DVD+RW disc that was made with other software on a
different optical media recorder.
If you add data to a DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD+R or DVD+R DL disc
that you have already recorded to, you might not be able to read the
added data under some circumstances. For example, it cannot be
read under 16-bit operating systems, such as Windows 98SE and
Windows Me, while in Windows NT4 you will need Service Pack 6 or
later, and in Windows 2000, you will need Service Pack 2. In addition
to this, some DVD-ROM and DVD-ROM/CD-R/RW drives cannot read
this added data regardless of the operating system.
TOSHIBA Disc Creator does not support recording to DVD-RAM discs
- to achieve this you should use Windows Explorer or another similar
utility.
When you back up a DVD disc, be sure that the source drive supports
recording to DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL or
DVD+RW media - if this is not the case then the source disc might not
be backed up correctly.
When you back up a DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R
DL or DVD+RW disc, be sure to use the same type of disc.
You cannot partially delete any data written to a CD-RW, DVD-RW or
DVD+RW disc.
