A simple user interface lets you select which files and folders to back up, and save this backup plan so you can easily make the same backup again whenever you like. Backup plans are very flexible, and adapt automatically if you move or rename files or folders, add or remove them, etc. It will use as many discs as necessary to hold the backup, asking you to insert new discs as needed.

Unless you choose to use a special format with additional features, files on the backup are exact copies of the originals. You can use the program's built-in facility to restore them, look at them in Windows Explorer, or use the appropriate program to open them directly on the backup. The optional special format can be used for files above a size you specify, and provides file compression and the ability to split files too large to fit on the current disc across as many discs as needed. ANY size of file can be backed up.

Backup To CD-RW is designed for less experienced users, but there are also options for more experienced users. You can back up recently modified files or files with the archive flag set, clear the archive flag, automatically save multiple backups on a disc without conflicting with each other, and use command line options instead of dialogs so backups can be launched unattended with a scheduler utility.

To use a CD-RW or CD-R, you must have software such as Adaptec Direct CD which allows files to be written to the drive letter for your CD-RW or CD-R drive. All modern CD-RW and CD-R drives are automatically installed with such software.
