Sony CD Extreme & Sony CRX700E? (G'bye Easy CD Creator)

Hello,

I'm encountering eye-bulging muck-ups in critical data backups made
with Easy CD Creator 5 (such as missing files with no notification).
This is a serious crime for data backups, so I've pretty well decided
to try something less, er, astounding. After much reading, I've heard
that people have had good experience with Sony's CD Extreme. My CDR
reader/burner is a Sony CRX700E, which doesn't seem to show up on the
program's compatibility list. Neither does that model show up on a
search of Sony's website. Perhaps CRX700E is meant only for OEM e.g.
to Dell, for Inspiron 8000 laptop in which it resides. If anyone has
successfully or unsuccessfully used CD Extreme with the CRX700E, could
you please let me know via this thread? Thanks.

I use win2K with NTFS, in case that matters.

As an aside, I also use cygwin, and I notice that it has a cdrecord
command. I will explore that when I have a chance to install it
(which is when I next have access to highspeed). Any comments would
be appreciated.

Recording to CD and even DVD is problematic for many people. External
HDD and USB Flash Drives have become popular because they are easy to
use and there is no software required to make them work (just drag and
drop the files you want to move or copy).

Insert witty comment here.

This is simply amazing. I thought I solved the problem by writing a 2nd
incremental session (which means the 1st session got imported). I then
wrote the files that got left out in the 1st session. They got put onto
the CD allright -- but large subtrees of files from the first session
were missing. I am simply unable to understand how this product can be
legally be represented as a functional piece of value. It has costed
an untold amount of time simply to root out where the differences are
between backup & the actual file system. Anyone who trustingly proceeded
as if the backup was made properly could get royally screwed when time
comes to fall back on it. The resulting damage can be much greater than
not having the product at all, since the user would then seek out other
forms of backup.

How Embarrassing for Roxio
==========================

=========================
From: Sonia
Date: 1/3/02
Subject: cannot read files after certain point on directory

Good News!

About 5000 of 20000 files were unreadable on the cd-rw written
by ECDC.

All of the same files were readable on the cd-rw written by
NTI CDMaker!!!

How embarrasing for Roxio.
