Making a backup copy of an audio CD
On computer models equipped with a CD recording device, you can use the Backing Up Audio CDs utility to make a backup
copy of an audio CD.
On computer models that have both a read-only optical drive and an optical writing drive, you can make a copy with one
click.
On computer models with only one optical drive, you must swap the original CD for a blank CD-R disc when requested to do
so in the middle of the copying process.
1. Quit SonicStage, if the application is open.
2. Click Start, click All Programs, point to SonicStage, and click Backing up Audio CDs.
The Backing Up Audio CDs utility starts.
3. Insert the CD you want to make a backup of into your CD drive.
Insert the CD into the optical drive you use to read CDs. Depending upon your computer model, this may be a
CD-ROM drive, CD-RW drive, a DVD-ROM drive, a DVD-RW drive, or a Combo Drive.
On computer models that have both a read-only optical drive (CD-ROM or DVD-ROM) and an optical writing drive
(CD-RW or DVD-RW), put the CD into the read-only optical drive.

(CD-RW or DVD-RW), the data is immediately written to the blank CD-R disc. The Copy Successful message
appears. The backup copy is finished.
On computer models that have only a single optical drive (CD-RW, DVD-RW, or Combo Drive), the Reading
completed message appears after the data is read from the original CD.

a blank CD-R disc.
