Allows you to write files to a CD/DVD. This operation is very useful for automating backup processes.  
 
General tab
 
Select Device  
Use the list to select the device files will be written to.  
 
Destination Folder  
Specify the folder to write files to. You can use RoboTask variables. For example, it can be useful for backups if you specify the folder name based on the current date: \{YEAR}{MONTHNO}{DAY}  
 
Files to Write  
Fill the list of files using the corresponding buttons. You can also fill it by dragging the necessary files and folders from a Windows Explorer window.  
 
If File Exists  
Specify what to do if the files being written already exist on the disk.  
 
Write Options tab

Volume Name  
The name of the disk being burned. You can specify the name explicitly or inherit the name from the imported session.  
 
Write speed  
Use the list to select the necessary record speed.  
 
Allow Joliet File Names  
Select this checkbox if you want to enable long file names.  
 
Finalize Disk  
Specify if it is necessary to finalize the disk. The disk will become read-only if it is finalized.  
 
Use Buffer Protection  
Buffer protection. It is recommended to enable this option in order to ensure that the disk is burnt continuously in case of possible problems with reading the source files.  
 
For CD-R/CD-RW only  
Specify the writing mode and whether it is necessary to cache information before writing it to the disk. These parameters make sense only when data is written to a ÑD-R/CD-RW and will be ignored when writing data to a DVD.  
 
For DVD only  
If it is known beforehand that the amount of the information is certainly more than 1 GB, you can enable the DVD High Compatibility option.  
 
Variable  
Allows you to add a variable to the action or triggering event that you selected. You must place the cursor in a edit box in the settings dialog window of the action or event and then click the {V} button.
