backups with nero

[pinhead]

Trying to setup a quick way for someone to backup a few folders with nero, using 6.6 ultra. I'd like to set it up so they could use a cd-rw and just click on a saved session and have it erase the disc and rewrite the files. possible? this needs to be as idiot proof as possible.

Nero should prompt them to erase the method at the beginning of the burn -- at least that's how it works with me in Nero 5.5

but what is the setup for it? select multisession at the beginning, and at the end of the burn save the session?

id love to see someone come up with something like this.... Ive wanted something like that for some clients, but havent had the time to dig into it

best I can figure is the backitup part is supposed to have an option to erase the disc before writing each time, but I would prefer it be a normal data disc you can view files on not a backup session that has to be restored to use it. as it is now I did a multisession and at the end saved the burn, but each time it writes it just keeps filling up the disc and when it is full you have to start all over again, which means I have to do this every 2-3 weeks

There is an easy way to do this, but it doesn?t use Nero.
If you?re interested, this link will show you how to do just what you want.

You could even create a batch file that automates this entire process, and a desktop shortcut if you want an idiot proof ?one click backup? solution.

There's actually a way to do it in a batch process with Nero as well...it has a command-line utility that is pretty simple. It's called nerocmd - a google search should yield the info you need.
