Burn Folders are a special type of folder that allow you to burn files to a CD or DVD more than once. Like Smart Folders, files that you add to Burn Folders do not actually reside in the folders but are Aliases of the original files; thus, Burn Folders take up almost no disk space. An ideal purpose for a Burn Folder is to add files and folders that you back up regularly. Any changes to a file or any new files added to a folder will automatically be updated in the Burn Folder.
To create a Burn Folder, choose File > New Burn Folder from the Finder menu.
To Use a Burn Folder
- Select File > New Burn Folder from the Finder menu.
- Type in the name for your folder and press Return.
- Drag the files or folders you want to add to your Burn Folder.
- When you are ready to burn the folder’s contents to a disk, select File > Burn [Burn Folder’s name] to Disc (or double-click the Burn Folder to open it and click the Burn button on the right side of the window).
- Insert a blank CD or DVD.
