When re-running a backup job to CD/RW AIS goes through the preparation stage OK but when in the mastering stage where it shows the currently loaded CD (eg. D = [CD01]) when I click "use loaded CD to re-use" it loops & will not proceed any further.
After turning off auto insert notification in device manager - the loop/inaction is replaced by the message "Cannot use loaded CD because there is not enough free space available. Please load a blank CD then choose retry/abort"
Is it not possible to add to an existing backup CD with AIS Backup – does the program expect to see a blank CD every time it is used when using the Integrated CD Writer ?
Is it only when using Packet Writing software with the CD formatted that you can “add” data to an existing backup job/CD??
Help needed - thanks!!!

AISBackup Mastered CD's
AISBackup cannot use pre-used CD's from another backup when using the integrated CD writer. AISBackup must pre-name CD's in order to track files within the backup, unlike when using a packet writing system this must be done before the CD is written to. To avoid any possible conflict with existing backups we took the decision not to allow pre-used CD's to be used with different backup jobs.
AISBackup can add data to the last CD used within the current backup.

AISBackup can add data to the last CD used within the current backup.

Barry, I am not using pre-used CD's from another backup when using the integrated CD writer.
I have "Reset Backup" & formatted the CD/RW (called it [D01]), run & tested the backup successfully (1228+ files - 530Mb).
However, if I add 1 test directory/file to the directories being backed up ("prepare job" tells me there is 1 file to be backed up), the mastering stage will not progress as it constantly asks me to either format or replace the CD (from the in the drive.
Therefore, I am unable to get AISBackup to "add data to the last CD used within the current backup" as stated
Please advise ASAP!! Thanks.

Hi
Please send us the <jobname>.buz file so that I may give an informed answer to this query. Formatted CD's are not compatible with using the AISBackup integrated CD writer and blank CD's (or pre-used Mastered CD's used in the same job) are not compatible when selecting to use a Packet Writing System.
Set-up a small job that uses the integrated CD writer, do not format a CD but load a Blank (or choose to Erase a pre-used CD-RW). Run the backup, add some more files, re-run the backup. AISBackup should ask for the pre-used CD.
