Problem with 'Backup'

[Guest]

I installed and am trying to use NTbackup.exe for the first time on my Windows XP PC. I have no problem burning a CD when using Sonics "Record Now" but its slow (or appears to be, took 25 mins to burn a 700mb disc). I would rather use the Windows backup. The wizard opens and I can choose files, folders etc. but when it comes down to backup where and I choose E: as the location (my DVD/RW ) it says "The backup file name could not be used" E:\cj backup.bkf "Please insure it is a valid path and that you have sufficient access.
As far as I'm concerned the path is correct and the name is legal. Can someone tell me why it won't go further????
Thanks

Because NTBackup doesnt support backup to cdr/cdrw

I installed and am trying to use NTbackup.exe for the first time on my

Windows XP PC. I have no problem burning a CD when using Sonics "Record
Now" but its slow (or appears to be, took 25 mins to burn a 700mb disc). I
would rather use the Windows backup. The wizard opens and I can choose
files, folders etc. but when it comes down to backup where and I choose E:
as the location (my DVD/RW ) it says "The backup file name could not be
used" E:\cj backup.bkf "Please insure it is a valid path and that you
have sufficient access."

As far as I'm concerned the path is correct and the name is legal. Can

someone tell me why it won't go further?????

As far as I'm aware none of the MS o/s backup utilities write directly to
cdr/w though you can backup to tape.
There are a number of third party backup apps the will backup to cdr/w eg
Handybackup or Backup plus

Really? Do you know of one that does??? I've read in the Knowledge Base

that the backup program is available on The Windows XP CD Rom and can be
installed from it. What if the XP came with the PC is there a way to do
that?
