CD's can be burned in DAO (Disk At Once) or TAO (Track At Once) mode. The only reason to use DAO mode is when burning audio CD's. Audio CD's burned TAO will have 2 second gaps between tracks. If one is copying an entire CD, TAO mode will introduce these 2 second gaps if they do not already exist. DAO mode uses a raw CD access mode and can avoid these gaps between tracks.
File or directory backup: - Launch "CD Creator" using one of the following methods:
- Insert blank CD-R(W), Nautilus "CD Creator" will appear
- Type the URL "burn:///" in Nautilus.
- From the Nautilus toolbar select "Go" + "CD Creator".
- Select the "Home Folder" within the tree portion of the GUI
OR: launch a new instance of the Nautilus file manager by double clicking the "Home" icon on the desktop.
Select files and directories to back-up. Use ctrl key for multiple selections.
Right click to bring up an options menu and select "Copy File". (or Cut, ...) - Select the "Blank CD-R Disk:" item in the "Tree"
OR: If using two Nautilus windows, drag files/directories to the "CD Creator" window.
Right click to bring up an options menu and select "Paste Files". - Select the "Write to Disc" button.
- This will launch a new dialog box "Write to Disc".
Select the "Write" button: - This will burn a CD with the contents you dropped in the "Blank CD-R Disc" branch of the Tree menu.
