The procedures I followed ahave worked for years and worked on one backup
CD I made on 9/8. RSJ status showed three files (665+kb), 1 directory
(2kb) and miscellaneous (54+ kb) and zero space available and the comment
CD formatted by 3rd party-writing disabled. RSJ drive is Z in Xtree Bold.
When I tried to view the three files in Ztree Bold, the first two files
opened. The third file would not open and showed "Error 00". ( So
something didn't work)
After some failures on 9/8, I made two successful backups (I to Z and JK
drives to Z). Since then I have been unable to backup successfully as the
logs show. I can't find the CD with these backups; guess I threw it away
with some others that were no good last Thursday.
I bought a spindle of 50 Maxell 700mb, 48X CD's. A random sample of 3
from the first 10 showed 0 space available. Before and after I attach it,
RSJ says the CD-R is occupied by 0 files, 1 directory (2Kb) but also says
the entire disk is occupied by "Other" files. RSJ says writing is
disabled because the CD was formatted by 3rd party software. When I
finalize, with or without session, RSJ opens the Plextor PX=24/10/40A,
with or without session, the CD is ejected almost immediately in contrast
to the usual minute or so that RSJ takes to close a successful backup
session. For the same CD, Ztree says "Sector not found".
The BA2KWS messages.log for all of my backup attempts to date shows:
