Brasero didn't work at all, and k3b had faulty verification. I lost a lot of data I thought was "backed up" because it said the disc burned correctly. I have never had these issues on ImgBurn, so I turned to Wine to use it in Linux. I really hadn't thought about changing this behavior after switching to Mac. > > I have not yet used Disk Utility.

The program does a verification of data and you can restore your system to a particular point in time, if needed. I use an external hard drive for this purpose. Until my employer basically made it illegal to have the drive on premises, it used to be there. James McKenzie
