How do I get backup to identify my cdrw for backup
pupposes? It only gives me a floppy driove option.

Go to www.liutilities.com and check out their backup software. They have
something that supports backing up to CDRW. I use it to back up to ZIP, and
I've never tried CDRW. But, it seems easy enough and it is cheap.

Greetings --

WinXP's NTBackup does not recognize CDRs or CDRWs as valid backup
media. By design, it will only write back-ups to tape drives or
another physical or logical hard drive. Many people back-up to a
spare hard drive, and then burn the resulting file to a CD, as a
work-around. Another option, of course, is to use a 3rd party backup
solution.
