I broke down and bought v6.0, even though I already own (the expensive) v5.15, so I could use my new TDK veloCD drive. Retrospect wants a CD-RW disk to configure. I don't have a CD-RW disk on hand (I have CD-Rs). Please tell me I will be able to use CD-R after I Configure.

Once the drive has been configured with CD-RW you'll be able to use CD-R media. However, if this is a supported drive you don't need to use the Auto Configurator.

 

While in Retrospect, go to Configure > Devices > Environment and list Vendor, Product and Version for your drive.

Beautiful. Thanks.

 

One last question: can I mix CD-R and CD-RW disks in the same backup set? My idea is to do the initial full backup on CD-R, then use CD-RW for weekly incremental backups, hoping to generate about new disks per year, instead of 52.
