First off, I’d like to say hello as I am new here .
Currently I have all, what I consider essential, files backed up on
CDRW (DOCs, XCLs, PDFs, JPGs etc.). Files such as DOCs and XCLs I’ve
been having to erase the CDRW in order to replace them with the newer
version. There has to be a better way, can’t those files be
overwritten, like back in the 3.5" days? I searched on this site as
well as a couple of others to see if anyone had this dilema before, I
didn’t find but one. The suggestion was to use CD-R (being cheap &
all), create multisessions on them and go from there. First of all, I
don’t recall CD-Rs being that cheap and secondly I have no clue to
what is meant by multisession or how it would work. I have a hard time
believing in this day and age a file cant be overwritten on a CD?
Please can someone help me with this. I know my way around my PC, but
this has me stumped (sadly enough).
Thank you all in advance[/b]
