I like to backup my photo folders weekly. In the old days, using Nero software and a PC, I would take the DVD-RW from the previous week and insert it. Nero would read it and recognize the folder of pictures. When I dragged the same folder from my hard drive to the burner, it would ask me if I wished to burn the new files and retain the old ones, which is what I wanted. I like using the RW discs for the reason that they are re-writeable.

However, with my iMac G-5 Super Drive, I am forced to erase the RW disc each time and then record the entire folder from scratch. I must be doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out. Can anyone help?

I ran into the same problem last night. I'm new to Mac so I asumed the DVD-RW would act like the cd-rw I would use on the PC (I dragged the file from the finder to the dvd-rw's icon on my desktop). I posted my question on another forum and I was told I'd have to erase the whole disc. The software that comes with the Mac doesn't support multiple sessions. I was advised to get Toast Lite which does.

Thanks, sketch, that's the same advice I received. I haven't bought Toast yet, but probably will.
