Creating a Multisession CD or DVD

Multisession discs can be used to write data in more than one burning session. This is useful, for example, for writing backups that are smaller than the media. In each session, you can add another backup file. The interesting part is that you are not only limited to data CDs or DVDs. You can also add audio sessions in a multisession disc.

To start a new multisession disc, do the following:

  1. Start with a data disc first as described in Section 29.1, “Creating a Data CD or DVD”. You cannot start with an audio CD session. Make sure that you do not fill up the entire disc, because otherwise you cannot append a new session.

  2. Click on Burn. The Disc Burning Setup opens.

  3. Select Leave the disc open to add other files later to make the disc multisession capable. Configure other options if needed.

  4. Start the burning session with Burn.
