DVD Reload

Post by jwc »

I was wondering if an option exists to disable the reload dvd in the tray when check file integrity option is used? Does it always have to be reloaded for a compare?

Thanks

CD / DVD reloading prior to test

Post by Barry »

AISBackup does try and access the new data written to DVD, however if it cannot then the DVD must be reloaded. When data is added to a disc the contents file is rewritten and the only way Windows can access the new contents is to reload the disc. I know this is really inconvenient if the backup is unattended on a laptop.

As an alternative: If you are running Windows Vista or Windows 7 consider using the direct to CD/DVD method instead of the DVD ROM method - in this option the CD and DVD behaves more like a regular disk.

Thanks Barry. I'm running xp sp2 and did a search and found this:

Do you think this would make it work?

You would have the same problem, the disc would have to be reloaded to switch to the new table of contents.
