I'm trying to get Acronis True Image to work with DVD-RWs. I've used both InCD (Nero) and Dragon Disk. Neither seems to work. Anyone out there using Acronis who is using rewritable DVDs able to help?

I bought it and tossed it out. It failed 100% of the time backing up to
cd's, dvd's, and usb drives from a virgin Dell laptop. Two evenings of
my life wasted...

Roy,

I don't usually use RW's as they're not as reliable as W only but I'll
give it a try later tonight or tomorrow and let you know how I do.

Roy,

I ran a test with a CD-RW (I didn't have any DVD-RW's)
At first I didn't think it was going to work... it seemed to hang...
but I realized there was a formatting (of the disk ) issue.
Is your DVD-RW fully formatted before you tried Acronis?

With a formatted disk, everything seemed to be fine.

My environment:
Roxio (not Nero)
Acronis 10

BTW

I had greatest success with Roxio drag to disk turned off (Acronis 10
has its own cd/dvd writing drivers).

Thanks for trying for me. I tried with formatted and unformatted disks, with InCD and Dragon Disc, but I am using Acronis 9. The what's new for version 10 doesn't say anything about improved udf/packet writing so who knows.

Roy,

There is a free trial of v10 that you might want to try.

FWIW, we use the enterprise version just fine, but only to NAS boxes and
Rev drives. Not tried a DVD or other optical.
