Backing up Files to CD, DVD, or Blu-ray

Roxio Toast 11 is a great tool for creating compressed, encrypted backups of important files

for Macintosh users. This tutorial will show you how to set up a Mac Only backup project.

Getting Started:

1. Choose a data project type. Toast creates various types of data projects, but the most

commonly used for backups are Mac Only and Mac & PC. The difference is that Mac Only

data discs can only be viewed on a Mac, whereas choosing Mac & PC allows you to mount

your disc on either a Mac or Windows computer. For the purposes of this tutorial, choose

Mac Only.

2. Add files to the project.!The Data tab of the Media Browser lets you browse your

computer much like you would in the Finder. Once you’ve found the files you need, all

you have to do is drag and drop them to the Content Area. Note that you are not limited to

adding files from the Data tab. Feel free to add some music, videos, and photos from the

others.!

One great feature here is the ability to search for files using the Mac OS X Spotlight search

feature. To do that, just click on Spotlight, choose where you want to search, select a file

type, and enter in a keyword or filename in the search field below. !

3. Organize your content. You can easily organize your files and folders right inside the Content Area. Click on the button with the plus and folder to create a new folder, and name it. From there you can just drag and drop files right inside. So there is no need to organize your files in the Finder prior to creating your data project. 4. Set up the options. In the Options tab of the main window, you’ll find all of the available properties for Mac Only data projects.

Use encryption: This password protects your disc. This is an absolute must if any of the files in your project are sensitive. This option is not available for projects with spanned data. Clicking on More… brings up a dialog with a few extra options. Here we can copy in another icon, choose the default Finder view, and select a color or picture to be on the background of the Finder window. 5. Choose a disc type and check the Space Indicator.

Do note that Toast automatically spans data across multiple discs if the files don’t fit on one. In that case, the gauge will appear solid green, and the text above will tell you exactly how much data you have and on how many discs. 6. Set up recorder options. Just to the right of the Space Indicator is a drop-down menu where you can select a recorder. If you have multiple recorders and wish to take advantage of the new multi-drive recording feature, choose Select Multiple Recorders.

8. Let Toast do its thing. Toast then begins burning your data disc. So just sit back and relax.
