I found it to be unreliable and stopped using any CDRW as a disk drive years ago. While it works 99.9% of the time it's that .1 % that made me stop. I use the simpler erase and record method now. As to how I backup it's simple. Any directory I have is not over 4.3GB which fits neatly onto one DVDRW.

I recently had a problem when I added some files to a backup CD, and corrupted the disc. It was a disc that falls in between discs in the series, so just sorting the files by date to make a new CD isn't practical. Is there some kind of software that can easily identify the files that are in the folder on my HD but aren't on any of my current back-up CDs? I currently use Roxio Easy CD Creator.
Thanks!
