Ive tried to back up my copy of Mac OS 10.5.6
I have two drives: Sony DW D150 A upper bay and a Pioneer DVD-RW 112D lower bay
using toast 9 in each drive ive tried to back up 10.5.6 three times. got verification errors on sector 1856912 and 1458704 and the first DVD that didn't verify I didn't keep the info.
so i tried burn w Disk Utility and it also had verification issue but didn't give out sector numbers
its intersting to note that on the Sony drive DU said "unable to burn 'disk 5' the drive failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media"
I rarely use DL media and this media is:
DVD+ R double layer write speed 2x RITEKD01
is my problem w inferior media? id this one of those layer cross over issues?
can you suggest media that might be better?
as I say I rarely use DL media but would like "reliable" back up of the OS before I install it.
cheers and thanks

There are almost no vendors of good DL media. If you aren't using Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden, expect these types of troubles.
To improve your chances in the meantime, try burning at reduced speed. It sometimes helps, but the only real solution is to use good media, which Ritek unfortunately isn't. -
I thought it was the media.
Ill try to get the minimum of verbatim and try again.
I alway try the slowest speed on DL
