Does anyone know what format the RSD optical disc are formatted as? We bought a Fujitsu Optical drive so we could easily copy new RSD optical disk to have a copy of the software on site. I installed the new drive in a XP machine and it reads FAT 32 optical disk but can not read the Mitel optical disk. When the Mitel disk is loaded into the drive it asks if you want to format the disk but the disk will read fine in the SX-2000. Any help is greatly appreciated. Jack

If its anything like the floppy discs used years ago, its using a bespoke track size.
Your probably better off thinking of another method or restore. Simply investigate using 'vol backup', out of normal business hours of course. You'll have to reload the plane afterwards.
Vol Backup will give you a restore capability, whereby all your software, options and database will be restored on completion. No other intervention other than a reload.
You just have to do one regularly or have a datasave, and flag off and restore it as required.
Another option would be to use some sort of generic backup software with intelligent sector scanning, which would not care what format it is in. This would have to be run under DOS not Windows though.

There used to be a software package out there to create RSD's, it ran on a Linux variant. I have no idea where you'd find a copy anymore.
The easiest method would be to connect a PC to the same network as an SX-2000 and use the RSD drive on the 2K to make your disks. Check your tech handbook or e-docs for the procedure.
