I am looking for a free program that will allow me to zip a file and then burn it to cd-r disc. Can someone recommend a good, dependable program please? I appreciate any positive help. TIA
Single files? Just get 7-Zip or Zip Genius. You can use Win's built-in burner program or Nero to transfer to CD.
Right, like cpemma said. For simple files programs like 7-zip and Jzip work just fine. If you want to regularly backup certain folders then Cobian Backup is pretty good.
As suggested above... use 7-Zip to compress the file, then one or other of the many FREE CD/DVD burning programs available... i.e. CD Burner XP (used it in the past meself), Burn4Free, BurnAware, Deep Burner, Final Burner etc etc
Nope, filefort with express burn plus are the better option. All I have to do is set it and forget it as long as I put a cd-r in the drive.
Fine. I assume, therefore, you found the answer to your question... ? For the benefit of anyone else looking for a similar solution... would you care to share your findings
filefort is free with express burn plus is a pay s/w but they have a free version but doesn't automate everything.
Why not create a backup set using winrar then burn it to disc. Follow the instructions here. Be sure you make parity sets so in case one of your files goes bad, you'll be able to replace it. Here is my backup.bat Code: path="C:\Program Files(x86)\WinRAR" rar a -m3 -md4096 -v100m -rv40p -msjpg;mp3;tif;avi;zip;rar;gpg;jpg -x*.m2t @list.txt That list.txt is a list of the dirs and files I want to backup: Code: e:\Documents and Settings\user1 c:\Documents and Settings\user1\Desktop c:\Documents and Settings\user1\Start Menu c:\Documents and Settings\user1\Application Data\ e:\Documents and Settings\user2 c:\Documents and Settings\user2\Desktop c:\Documents and Settings\user2\Start Menu c:\Documents and Settings\user2\Application Data\ c:\*.conf c:\*.cfg c:\*.bat c:\cook*.* You're left with the files and parity sets you can simply burn to DVD:
