The problem with a lot of backup methods is that it is WORN (write once, read
never) until you need it.
People should always test their meckup method before there is a need for it.

I recommend you to start with installing recent original software from
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/
and then to run "isoinfo -i devname -d" in order to check thether the
medium contains a ISO-9660 filesystem at all.
