Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Backing up

Sandy,

I, too, have used BA2KWS and RSJ for years to create backups on cd's. But
this year, after 4 or 5 successful backups, BA2KWS refused to back up,
saying the cd had been formatted and could not be written to even though
RSJ says it is empty and ready for writing.

I suspect the problem is the cd's which the label says can be used to
store data and music. I have backed up successfully to some of them but
others gave me the problem desccribed in the paragraph above.

Could the cd's be the problem? Whose cd's do you use?

Jack
