Any way to disable the 10-minute timeout?

Thread needs solution

I'm using TI Home 2010 on a Sony Vaio laptop running Vista. When backup up a disk partition to DVD-RWs, once a DVD fills up and is ejected, the user has only 10 minutes in which to insert the next DVD, otherwise the whole backup operation is aborted.

Is there any way to disable this ridiculously stupid behaviour?

Currently, there is no fix for this. However, it's supposed to be fixed in the next build (see this post).

Any further progress on this? I have just bought the product specifically to back up to DVDs, and, while being thankful that it no longer fails after the first DVD as the previous build did, I am exasparated after my third attempt to complete a full backup has also failed due to my returning from another part of my life and missing the 10-minute disk-change deadline.

At least the dratted thing could squeal or something when the disk needs changing, but no. OK I can roughly calculate how long each disk takes - about 27 minutes - but it's like the software is saying "Ho Ho, you made a bad job of estimating the last 27 minutes so I'll teach you a lesson by wasting those disks and making you start all over again".

My build is 7046 - wasn't it supposed to be fixed by now?

(Just imagine my central server backup system spitting out the fiftieth tape of a backup saying I was too slow re-loading the tape changer in the cellar and the whole backup was aborted.)
