This only covers the situation when you have a disk failure or similar. It
does not help in the event of total loss, such as fire or theft.

If you read my complete post you will notice that I did advise that
you can send the backup to writeable CDs.....it's a bit slower and you
have to change the CD when requested, but it works fine.

Possibly the better option with that approach might be to write the
backup to the hard disk in 650Mb chunks - this means the files are
created automatically without having to change CDs, and then once the
backup is finished you can store elsewhere.

Don't forget that some online services allow you to store your backups
on their servers, and will provide a CD copy on request if you happen
to lose everything. When I looked at that option a while back it was
relatively expensive so I didn't go down that route, but it is an
option if your PC is mission critical to a business.
