Problem Description
When starting a backup operation, I receive an Error 4 almost immediately. I am using an ATAPI DVD-RAM under OpenServer.

If you are NOT using an ATAPI DVD-RAM under OpenServer, this indicates a general write error.

Cause
BackupEDGE may be having trouble starting the CD-R/RW burning process.
Solution
OpenServer 5.0.5 and earlier does not currently support ATAPI DVD_RAM devices. While BackupEDGE may detect them as recordable devices, OpenServer does not actually support writing to them.
Notes
SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 will support ATAPI/IDE DVD/CD-RW devices with the updated wd driver available from SCO along with OSS506a.
