If you're using Windows2000, it's because backup to CD-RW is not supported (see article Q262006 on Microsoft's Knowledge Base).

when using windows 2000 backup , you must have a tape drive for the media type to be clear. If you are using a cd writer try writing batch commands instead of using backup. You can use task manager to run the command at different times.
