Help with writing backup DVD disc

By Beresford - usenet poster


I'm trying to write backup files to a rewritable DVD. I first used
Nero to reformat the disc, then proceeded to write all my backup
files.
All seemed well when I checked if the data was on the disc using
Windows Explorer.
But when, some 12 hours later, I went to remove the disc, I was given
a message from InCD that 'delayed writing failed'. The disc cannot now
be read. Is there a way around this? I don't even know what 'delayed
writing' is

Generally what others have said - dump InCD - and make sure you stop
it running in the background from startup. Just because component
software is offered to you as an "extra" for a program doesn't mean
you have to install it and/or use it.

*YOU* do something for yourself and take control of your computer -
don't rely on bells and whistles that come with programs and want to
take over your computer and do everything for you "automatically" -
you won't have a clue what's going on behind the scenes. Just do your
backups manually using Nero to burn a data DVD. Works a treat.

InCD is shit, better to just burn the data to the CDRW in one go using Nero.

Why I don't use the In-built XP Burner:

When you want to burn a lot of files, small/large it don't matter.
It copies them from the Original Location into it's own Temporary Storage.

When you finally want to make the CD it then Creates another Copy !!
Except this is an ISO Image of all the Files you wanted burned

It will then read Iso and write it out to CD on the fly.

So in effect to make a 600meg CD:

It will read 600meg of files and then write another 600meg copy of the
files to it's temp folder

It then reads the 600meg of temp files to create a 600meg ISO

Then reads the 600meg Iso and writes to CD on the fly

You've now read 1800meg and written 1800meg of data

That sounds like an awful lot of moving of data around just to
make 1 CD

InCD is a bugger of a program - it emulates a floppy or H/D and the
burn type is different to other CDs.

Appears it may have cached the files for writing later and you shut
down before they got burned.

You would be better off using Nero to just burn a data disc using
either the Wizard or Burning ROM if you have the full version.

For that matter, why not just drag your files to the Burner icon in
Windows Explorer and let the native XP burner do it.

No point getting complicated for a simple job
