Genie
Outlook Backup allows you to backup your data to CD/DVD media
using third party packet writing software. Users can also
enable spanning which allows them to backup data to multiple
disks if the data requires more space than available on a
single disk.
To backup your data to CD:
1- Choose Normal backup mode, if Genie Outlook backup is
not already set to Normal Backup, you can do so by pressing
the "Switch
Layout" button in the main menu
2- Proceed to the second step of the backup wizard process
3- Select "Backup
to DVD..."
General notes on backing up to CD/DVD
• If your data size is less than the free space on
your CD/DVD disk don’t check "Allow
multiple Disks".
• If you think your data will require more than one
disk then check "Allow
multiple disks," and choose the appropriate
"Size Per Disk",
(600MB recommended for an empty CD disk and 4GB for an empty
DVD disk).
• (1GB = 1073741824
bytes) and the DVD disk size is 4,700,000,000 bytes which
in fact equals 4.3GB not 4.7GB
•
Increment and Mirror backup will not be available when data
is being spanned over multiple disks
• Make sure you select the right drive letter for
your CD/DVD recorder in the "Backup
Media Type" section, or else you will get an
error message during backup.
