Support of CD and DVD recorders How 123Backup works with removables.

     123Backup enables you to backup to your CD-R, CD-RW and DVD-RAM drive, just like a hard disk or floppy disk drive. 123Backup works as "CD-R aware". It requires a drive-letter access to the drive, which has to be provided by another program such as Adaptec's DirectCD or Nero InCD. Get the benefits of scheduling, compression, virus scanning and encryption on all of your backups by using the most cost efficient, easiest and most reliable media available.

     Roxio provides the necessary support for most CD-R and CD-RW drives, allowing 123Backup to successfully write to these drives.  With DirectCD, not only can you backup and protect your system, you can also easily drag and drop files right from other applications, create new directories right on your CD-R, CD-RW or DVD-RAM, and even save files from your applications, (e.g word processing, drawing, etc...) directly to your drive.  Click here to check if your CD recorder is supported by Adaptec's DirectCD.

     123Backup supports more than just DirectCD, however. Any CD-R and CD-RW drives that are working with an existing driver will work with 123Backup. One way to tell if you have an existing driver, is if the device appears in your Windows Explorer as a drive letter (i.e. the drive has been mapped) and you can use it for basic file copying and storage.
