Copy to DVD
Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2006 01:49 AM
I have a system that has users place a writable CD in the drive and then I perform a backup of the data files to the CD I have been using the following method to do the copy, DLL32 FUNCTION CopyFile( cExFile AS LPSTR, cNewFile AS LPSTR, lFailIfEx AS LONG ); AS BOOL FROM "CopyFileA" LIB "Kernel32.dll" my question is is there anything I should be aware of if I go to DVDs to perform the backup - I need to do this both for space (as I can then allow the users to accumulate more data before each backup) and new equipment reasons. This is a very data intensive system. It seems that DVD writers are now becoming the standard in PCs.

Cheers
Gerry

Gerry,

Were you able to directly copy files to the CD using CopyFile() ?
