batch job copy files from server, then... write to CD?
I am having a workstation, with a CD-RW on it, having the task at 3am every night, to copy data from a server to the local hard drive. And then I want it to write to a CD. I got the batch for copying the files working fine, and set in the scheduled tasks to run every night.

Now I need to somehow find a way to have that data written to a CD. Is there a program that can do this? All it needs to do is write files from a folder on the local hard drive (on the workstation) to a CD every night. Via shedueled tasks if possible. This way, all they have to do is take the CD out (it has been written) when they get there in the morning, and put another writable CD in. Then after everyone goes home, at 3am it copies the data from the server to the local HD again, and later writes another CD. Every night. We will colllect up to about 2 weeks of CDs written from the server, and then recycle them (they are rewritable). In other words, remove the data, and use as fresh CDs. Quite simple, right...
So is what I need is a program that can do this... Quite frankly.

huh? I don't understand what you are trying to say. I want a program, that can run by it self, without any interaction, take data from a specific location on the local hard drive, and write it to CD. Simple as that.
Is there a program that does that?
