System Backup does not work writing to DVD
I am trying to get the "Backup" process to work with writing to the DVD. My system is a new ACER PC with 2.2GB Dual core cpu, 3GB RAM, Windows 7 (64bit) installed, so it has enough power and the right hardware. I close all applications such as browsers, word, mail, etc. I setup the directories that I want backed up via the Backup and Restore function settings and they come to about 3.9GB. I am using DVD-R 4.7GB 16x (2hrs) type DVDs. I then click on the "Back up now" button. It starts the process by shadowing, asks to format the DVD (I click yes) and then it seems to start the process of writing to the DVD, I see the DVD led light of on/off/on/etc but it takes a long time. It finally comes back and indicates failure of the backup. I get the following in a pop up window: (See attached file as well)
(Note: I am not doing a system image type backup, just some word docs, pictures, files, and music.)
