[FRIAM] [WedTech] stupidest question ever asked on wedtech

[David Breecker]

Robert, I use Sonic RecordNow:  www.sonic.com/products/Consumer/RecordNow/  It's pretty much built for this purpose.

Although I have gotten XP to do this, it's a big pain.

  I'm having success with a combination of a SimpleTech 80GB external drive (fits in a shirt pocket, runs off USB, $130) and Microsoft's SyncToy (one of the few pieces of MS software that does what it's meant to and no more). 

  Strictly speaking this isn't a pure backup solution: my problem is that I work on a couple of machines in the office and a couple at home, and I want to make sure that I've always got the latest version of data, programs etc. to hand. By syncing regularly with all these machines I avoid version problems plus I get a pretty robust distributed backup (also I can cycle to work as I'm not lugging a laptop).

    All, 

    some months ago my tech people "rehabbed" my "old" xp machine and told me to stop being such a damn fool and back up my documents more often.  So, I thought I better try to do that.  So last night I tried both Iomega backup and Windows back up and they didnt work.  Called the techs this morning and asked for help and they said, "Oh silly you!  You  arent trying to back your machine to a dvd/cd burner are you?  XP doesnt DO that!"  Silly me.  

    Does anybody have a utility that backs up to CD?  Also, could some body remind me of the name of the screen capture utility that you guys told me about.  The "rehabb" seems to have obliterated that as well.
