My CD burner resides on a second computer on my LAN. ZBtCD doesn't offer this burner on the CD/DVD tab.

I've tried changing the path to one that points to this drive, but the backup ends with an error message (not enough room).

Basic question is, how do I find and select the network CD-R drive?
Thanks,
Dave G

You can not burn to a network drive unless you have a packet writing program installed on the network PC where the CD burner resides. If you have a packet writing program installed and the media is formatted and shared as a network drive it may be possible to backup to that drive. You should be aware of the fact that it is not a reliable solution. You should install the backup program on the PC where the CD burner resides and backup the data from the other PC over the network. This will only work with data if you need to backup the system state you have to run the program on the PC from where you will backup the system state.
