Thanks for the clarification LUK, just what I was after. Cheers again Enjoy your holiday and thanks for taking the time to reply. MrPix

Thanks, I must admit that although I was pretty clear on the rest of the readme and that I had the script worked out soley from that, this is one thing that I could not get my head around as the explanation was unforgiving. I guess I should have mentioned this in my early post to avoid you getting on your high horse , my apologies for putting you in that position. /ERASE Used to automatically erase / format / overwrite media. My query was really trying to understand whether the second time the daily disc was used (e.g. Monday's disc)... on next Monday.... would the 4 hour erase/Sector wipe session occur again... or does it overwrite the data without that. I understand it does 'it' automatically, I'm just trying to factor the window required after the initial format/sector wipe the first time the disc is used and I'm afraid the readme was less than helpful in aiding my understanding and also whether I needed to use anyother switch after the initial first run on each disc such as /OVERWRITE. I wasn't being as stupid as you try to make out. I appreciate you writing this great bit of software regardless of your misguided assumption that I have not bothered to RTFM! Thanks again.... MrPix

Hi, What a fab piece of software! I have a BD-RE and have searched to find the answer, but no luck. I noticed on one post that LUK has stated something to the effect of "you only format a BD-RE once and after that the data is over written and that it is all handled automatically". I use the command line as a small part of a batch script that runs each night, but have a question or 2. 1. I use the /ERASE tag in the batch script as seen below. Do I need it? 2. If the /ERASE command is run each time on the same disc, will it 'automatically' ignore of format it? C:\progra~1\imgburn\imgburn.exe /NOIMAGEDETAILS /MODE build /BUILDMODE device /ERASE /ROOTFOLDER yes /SRC "F:\Daily Backup Folder\" /DEST "e:" /LOG "f:\backup_logs\DailyBackup_[DATETIME].log" /FILESYSTEM "ISO9660 + Joliet" /VOLUMELABEL "DailyBackup" /INCLUDEARCHIVEFILESONLY yes /CLEARARCHIVEATTRIBUTE yes /START /EJECT no /CLOSE Thanks, MrPix
