| | Back-Up - New DVD called after writing 250mb Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 Using BackUp and Restore Center - periodic Automatic Backup Running successfully for several months. Today new DVD called, loaded and formatted in the usual way but wrote only 250mb of zipped files before calling for another DVD. The second DVD again only had, I discovered afterwards, 250mb data written before another DVD was called upon which I abandoned the backup. The only difference today is the use of new DVD+R instead of DVD-R. Any ideas on what's happened/changed? Beano Senior Technologist, Cartouche |

| | Re: Back-Up - New DVD called after writing 250mb It appears that your DVD burner is not capable of burning DVD+R disks. Why did you switch from -R to +R disks?

| | Re: Back-Up - New DVD called after writing 250mb Thanks, Curious ... but this is not the answer! I have subsequently written more than 1gb to one of the disks as a test using drag'n'drop of a big folder in Windows Explorer, so I think it's not the drive of drivers. -- Mike Bean Senior Technologist, Cartouche "Curious" wrote: Quote: > It appears that your DVD burner is not capable of burning DVD+R disks.
