Mac Backup software
I run OS X (jaguar 10.2.3)
I need to backup my important files
Is there an easy way to do this? I read that with Panther you can now just put in a blank disc and drag n drop then click "burn"
I can back up to CD-R for now, but I'd like a program that can burn to DVD as well (Yes, I have a SuperDrive)
Thanks, from a Mac Newbie

There are Backup applications like Retrospect that can do the job.
If your just talking about specific files then I would suggest doing as your doing just Burn them to CD.

???
I am not backing anything up right now
Will dragging and dropping work in Jaguar like it will in Panther?
How do I burn files to a CD? Remember: I'm a Mac newbie. All I've burned have been music CDs through iTunes and a few DVDs through iDVD
I'll look into retrospect...

From what i understand you want a burning software and not a backup software. Here is the difference.
- backup software can usually be setup to automaticly start at certain times and backup a listing of predetermined files or folders.
- backup software can also check for files that didn't change since the last backup and depending on how it's configured will drop them or not
- burning software is a manual operation of putting your files on a cd or dvd
try a search on toast for the later.
