Use USB flash as CD staging when no CD writer?
Posted: Sun Jan 28, 2007 3:40 am
I need to run a backup on a laptop that has no CD writer. It's an old laptop with a relatively small hard disk, so the backup files fit on my usb flash drive. However, if I do this then the backup set is too large to fit on a CD.
Is there any way to configure the backup to use the usb flash drive as a CD staging area? Then as each CD set is staged to the usb flash I can physically move it to the machine that has the CD writer.
I tried to set up a job to use 3rd party mastering, but when I set the Disk Stage Area to use a directory on the usb drive then I received the following error:
Thanks and Best Regards,

Is there any way to work around this?The backup must be to a local disk
