Hello everyone,

Does anybody out there know the command to write to a CD from the XP command
line. I'm trying to do scheduled backups to a CDRW but don't know how to
schedule the actual writing process.

It seems like the easiest way to do this is run the command in a batch file.
Is this the right approach or is there an easier way?

Thanks.

You'll need a third-party program if you wish to accomplish your goal.

BackUp MyPC is a powerful yet easy to use data protection
and disaster recovery solution for a single computer or
peer-to-peer network. Conveniently backup important files
or your entire computer while you're not even around using
our advanced scheduling system.
