 Burning data CDs or DVDs can be a complicated business, as you wade through complicated dialog boxes packed with a mass of irrelevant options. Need a simpler way? Then install Paragon Easy CD/DVD Recorder, and you'll be able to make speedy data backups with the absolute minimum of mouse clicks.
How speedy? After launching the program, click Next to create a data disc, choose a recording drive (if you've more than one) and click Next again. Use the "Add file" and "Add Dir" buttons to add whatever files and folders you'd like to save, then click Next > Start to burn your disc. This really is CD mastering pared down to the absolute minimum.
Occasionally the shortage of options may go too far, in fact, but Easy CD/DVD Recorder does have a few extra features hidden away, just for emergencies. Check the "Expert Mode" box on the opening screen, and you'll later get to choose the file system for your disc (ISO9660 Level 1 or 2, ISO9660 + Joliet UNICODE extensions, UDF 1.02). There's also an option to create bootable discs from an image of your choice, and you can turn various writing settings on or off as required (write subchannel data, and so on).
The program is also smart enough to present extra options when necessary. Insert a disc that's already got one or more recorded sessions, for instance, and you'll see another screen with various multisession options. Easy CD/DVD Recorder is simple, then, but that doesn't mean limited, and the chances are it's got all the data disc creation features you'll need.
