What backup software do you use to BURN backup CDs?


expansionsw, answering to comments
Years ago, I used the ONE STEP Backup with my old Zip Drive. Once I configured it, it was ONE CLICK and it made an awesome backup and archive set.

What software is easy for making a good backup and archive set on CD-R or CD-RW? (can CD-RWs be used, so space is used properly).

Better yet, I would like this great backup software to be a FREE download and work with any configuration of Windows.
On Compaq computers, they provided this SONIC burner software that provies a really easy Backup/Archive program. There is nothing to configure.

When you run it, you simply pick.... Photos, Documents, Graphics and other things that you want it to back up. It then builds the full list of your data files that it will backup for you. Then it tells you how many CDs that you need.

I don't know where to buy or download it.

Start > All Programs > Accessories > System tools > Backup... Let it scan for options and the "Back-up or Restore Wizard" should open if you have no outside back-up utility installed. Choose what you want to save and it will create a special file that you can burn to a CD.
