Backup to DVD with CopyToDVD software

This article will review the software tool called CopyToDVD, which wasn’t primarily designed for backup, but can be used for uncomplicated backup to DVD. The interface of the program is easily understandable and doesn’t require much time to find the needed buttons and menus. You can start doing backup to DVD either from the Windows Shell, or from the application menu. The program can burn whatever you want: files, pictures, music.

Developers can use CopyToDVD to add a burning feature to their applications. All DVD burners are supported by the program, letting you back up to DVD+R, backup files to DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD+RW. Moreover, your data can be burned to Blu-Ray. Of course, burning CD’s is also supported by CopyToDVD. The software tool is well-integrated into Desktop (XP Autoplay) and runs under Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows Me, Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP and both 32 bit and 64 bit Windows Vista. It’s also possible to create .iso file and hear prompt voice at the task completions.

As CopyToDVD wasn’t primarily designed for backup purposes it lacks some very useful backup features. There is, for example, no option of automatic search of backup sources (Outlook data, Windows registry, etc.) and no possibility of setting up the backup schedule. But if you need a software utility to periodically perform manual backup to DVD, CopyToDVD can be a very good choice.
