How often do I create a new Disaster Recovery CD?

I am a new user of the Retrospect Express Software and I have a question regarding its use.

 

 

 

 

 

When I made my first full back-up I also burned the disaster recovery CD the instructions. I now make full back-ups weekly and was wondering if it is also necessary to burn a new disaster recovery CD with each and every full back up that we make, or will the old CD suffice?

 

 

 

Is a new CD only needed when there has been a hardware upgrade to the computer being backed-up?

 

 

 

 

 

We are having some difficulty in understanding the function of the CD other than to be used as a boot disk.

Yes. The CD is essentially a boot disk which will start a full disk restore wizard. New CD's are only required when the hardware environment changes.
