Backup tips
• All of the discs used in a Back Up Files project
must be the same general format.
• In a multi-disc Back Up Files project, files are
assigned based on the size of the first disc you
use. If your first disc has a capacity of 650 MB,
for example, no more than 650 MB will be
burned on any subsequent disc, even if it has a
larger capacity. This also means that no disc in
a project can have a smaller capacity than the
first disc used in a project.
• Discs used in a Back Up Files project are closed
once they are recorded. If you use write-once
discs, you will not be able to add additional
data.
• To view a list of the files on a Back Up Files disc,
open the .RFI file placed on the disc.
