Dave, Rewriter came with Adaptec 3.5b, but the backup part really doesn't work that well. Really looking for a program similar to the Windows backup that would work with my CD Rewriter.

In general, CD-rewriters are not seen as such by the OS, and so by utilities such as the Backup under System Tools. You need to install CD-rewriter software, such as Adaptec's EZ-CD Creator. Most CD-rewriters come with *at least* a basic program for writing stuff to CD. The better programs include decent capabilities specifically for doing backups, and some of the commercial backup utilities now include support for CD-writers.
