I just used my CD/R for the first time to backup my hard drive yesterday. 
This is a newly purchased computer after getting zapped by lightning about 2 
months ago. The store made me a set of backup CD's when they build the 
computer but after adding several applications and restoring lots of data 
file I figured it was time to restore my work.

Using a Plextor 12X burner with Rosio 5.0 software was real easy. Just click 
on the "Take Two" function and the hard drive is backed up automatically. The 
CD/R opens and closes asking for each new CD and reminds you what to label 
each one.

My backup was 2.41 Gig on 4 CD's and took 91 minutes.
