Backup to DVD with Mac Air?

Thread needs solution

I have a DVD drive but not an external hd. Can I use ATI 2019 to back up my Mac Air to a DVD(s)?

Sandy, welcome to these public User Forums.

I am not a Mac users so please accept that my response is based purely on the User Guide information.

Please see in the User Guide:  System Requirements - where it states the following:

Supported storage media:

  • Internal drives (HDD, SSD, RAID)
  • USB drives
  • FireWire drives
  • Thunderbolt
  • Network share, NAS
  • Acronis Cloud

See also the section: What you can and cannot back up - which looks to me to rule out backing up to DVD media.

The table below shows what and where you can back up.

Hah! Perfect! A perfect case of RTFM

I am so happy that there are so many others in this world who are smarter than !

Thanks you so much.

Sandy, it is a normal human trait that the manual is the last place to check - we are all guilty of doing exactly the same!
