Back up Directly to DVD/CD

You can use the Tools > CD/DVD > CD/DVD Device Information menu to find out about your burner device and disc information. TurboBackup offers Simplified DVD/CD Interface, which lets you skip the Create Data DVD/CD dialog. You can turn it on and off in the toggle Tools > CD/DVD > Use Simplified DVD/CD Interface menu. When Use Simplified DVD/CD Interface menu is not selected, you will have more options in the Create Data DVD/CD dialog to burn DVD/CD. If you want to have more control over the burning process, especially when burning multiple volumes to DVD/CD, it is recommended that you turn off the Simplified DVD/CD Interface.

You can use the Tools > Default Options menu, CD/DVD page, or through the Options button on the last wizard page of the selected individual task, to select basic burn DVD/CD options. (Select a task and click the Wizard icon on the main toolbar to access the wizard.) These are the only ways you can select the burn DVD/CD options if the Use Simplified CD/DVD Interface menu in the Tools > CD/DVD menu is turned on.
