Last backup disc appears blank
Hi, I'm trying to use True Image 2010 to create a complete backup of my laptop (Lenovo Ideapad Y500P - Windows 7 64bit). There are two problems I've encountered. I've found a way around the first one, but not the second.
I created a bootable rescue disc and booted up to it. I went to the backup option and set it up to do a full backup of the hard drive (4 partitions) to dvds (4).
The first problem I came across was when it asked for the next disc during the backup. If I put the blank dvd in and press ok immediately then it'll come up with an error and I have the option to retry or cancel. No matter what I do at this point it gets stuck. I can eject and insert a new disc, wait 1 min, and hit retry it'll still come up with this dialog, it won't go on. I figured out that if I wait 30 sec or so after putting the new disc in before I hit ok then it'll continue fine. I figured how to get around this, but it still cost me a few dvds.
After the backup and validation finished successfully I booted again to the rescue disc and selected the restore option. I wanted to make sure the backup was ok. It then has a dialog to select where the image is. I put the first dvd in and selected the file on it (MyBackup1.tib I think it is). It said this isn't the last volume. So I put the last dvd in and went to browse, but the disc appears empty, there are no files listed on the dvd. I put this dvd in my desktop pc and I can see the files on it just fine (MyBackup1.tib, MyBackup2.tib, MyBackup3.tib, and MyBackup4.tib). I can't figure out why true image can't see the files on this disc since it's the same brand and everything as the others.
Thanks for your help
