Windows 2000 Backup

I want to use Windows 2000 Backup to back up my files to a blank CD in my CD Writer. I could do this with the backup software in Windows 98 but WIndows 2000 refuses to see the CD Writer as a valid backup device. I could use script files but this would be messy as I have dozens of 2 and 3 PC networks to support and tape is too expensive for the minimal amount of data being backed up.

Any ideas?

Wayne.

Sorry, I've got 92 offices with Win 2000 to support with 92 seperate backups. Too expensive. Unfortunately Win 98 backup will do what Win 2000 backup won't and they're free.

Thanks anyway.

I am now trying out Win XP and a recent acticle in a Win2000 magazine said I could backup my data using the built-in Microsoft Backup to write directly to disk. Has anyone else got this to work?
