Backup to DVD-RAM
Windows (since Windows XP) can read a DVD-RAM that is UDF  or FAT32  formatted and even write to it in FAT32. A FAT32-formatted DVD-RAM cannot be used as a backup medium by Z-DBackup. This is caused by the maximum file size restriction of 4 GB in FAT32.

If a backup > 4 GB is created on a FAT32-formatted DVD-RAM, Z-DBackup will not prompt the user to change the medium and the backup is aborted! To prevent this, a DVD-RAM must be formatted with UDF 1.5 or even better UTF 2.0. To format and burn a DVD-RAM with the UDF file system  you need a UDF driver, except under Windows Vista. A UDF driver is included with most DVD-RAM drives.

  A FAT32-formatted DVD-RAM cannot be used as a removable backup medium by Z-DBackup!

The advantages of a DVD-RAM in comparison to most other recordable or rewritable DVD blanks are that they were specifically conceived for use as an archiving medium. Data on a DVD-RAM has a durability of 30 years minimum if the disc is handled with care. Furthermore, the disc can be used almost like a hard disc or floppy disc and no burning software is needed to record it. A DVD-RAM can be rewritten up to 100,000 times.

Sometimes an appropriate DVD-RAM driver is missing with OEM DVD-RAM drives. In this case you have to obtain a suitable driver from the internet.
