    Not used it, but seen the link posted around a few times.
    But, its really worth paying a few quid and buying Nero, heck, you can get it for under a tenner in some places, well worth it.

    Agreed. Buy Nero, less wasted CD/DVD blanks than anything else I've tried. You'll save money very quickly.

    XP will only back up to CD's. I tried using the built in program to back up to DVD but it won't do it!
