4.3.1.2. Using X-CD-Roast to Create a CD

It is always recommended to backup personal data and information often in case of hardware failure or

ﬁle system corruption. X-CD-Roast allows you to backup ﬁles on your hard drive partition using Cre-

ate CD. This facility allows you to add ﬁles and directories into a CD session using Master Tracks.

There are other options within the Master Tracks dialog that allows you to conﬁgure advanced set-

tings; however, the defaults are set correctly to create data CD-ROMs, so no further conﬁguration is

necessary. Figure 4-9 shows a session that is preparing the entire /home directory for backup.

Highlight the ﬁles and directories that you wish to add to the session and click Add. After you have

added all the ﬁles and directories you want to write to the CD-R(W), click the Create session/image

tab to create the .img ﬁle. You must ﬁrst click Calculate size, then Master to image ﬁle to create the

image.
