Backup to CDRW doesn't work properly

Hi everyone

it seems like comodo backup tries to backup 1,4gb to a 650mb CDRW Disc.

Just to mention:
A 360mb Backup works.
Anyone got a suggestion ?

Hi Everyone,

               Iam also facing the same problem as stated by steppe. Iam using Windows XP with servicepack 2. Then comodo could first check the size of the CD/DVD and then theu would copy the files.

Just to make sure the obvious has been eliminated, did you select “Split files (only on removable media)” on the OPTIONS tab?

Yes panic, I have selected the option in the options tab still iam getting the same problem.I have selected erase the disc option and i made use of an rewritable CD.It says as foolowing

This looks like an internal error. You would be better to send a detailed email to support [at] comodo.com. Please include details of your OS and the brand/model of your burner. Also include details of any other currently installed burning apps - Nero, Roxio, Drag’n’Drop etc.

For what it’s worth, I’ve had no problems backing up to CD-R or CD-RW, using a mix of LiteON, LG, Hitachi, Teac and Sony burners, but no software is perfect.

Hopefully support will be able to fix you up. If they do find a fix, can youplease repost here, so others can benefit.

Thanks in advance and sorry I couldn’t be of more help.

I have an HP Burner (Hitachi it is :wink: ) and use Verbatim CDRWs.

I also have no problems backing up to an CDRW if it doesn’t exceed the size. I’ll try normal CDRs and DVDRs and RWs. Just to be sure it’s not a media Problem.

Tried it with a normal CDR. And the same Error appears. Please fix.

Hi,

IMHO, I don’t think this is a problem with the CD-RW. I think it is more of that Comodo BackUp cannot manage large files. I am having a similiar problem with backing up to an external hard disk. Try checking out this post. The issue is not resolved yet, guess we will have to wait.
