Can EZBack-it-up write to CD-R or CD-RW?

EZBack-it-up Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) -- rdcomp.net

This will provide a drive letter for you to use as the destination for the backup job. EZBack-it-up has no built-in support for CD-R's. However, you can still use it to create an archive that you can then use with your CD burning software.

Do you ever write or change a customers original CD-R, CD-RW, or DVD?

What is a CD-R and CD-RW?

Superscope Technologies
CD-R means "Compact Disc Recordable." It's a "write-once" media, which means the data (music) can't be overwritten, erased or reused (rerecorded). A completed or "finalized" CD-R can be played in virtually any standard CD player. CD-RW or "Compact Disc Rewritable," can be erased and rewritten (recorded) many times. The only drawback is a CD-RW won't playback in all CD players...the players must be CD-RW compatible.
