| Trouble making a backup copy of iWork '08 I recently purchased iWork '08 and went to try and make a back DVD of it today. I used Disco and Toast Titanium, but neither worked as I was unable to install it from the backup CD onto my laptop. I'm assuming that Apple has some kind of protection on the disc so this cannot be done, but I have had to purchase software that I already owned before in the past because of a scratched disk. If I shell out $100 for software, then I should be able to create a backup in case something goes wrong so I don't have to rebuy it. Can someone tell me what I need to differently to get it to work? Arrrrrrr....

| So you've tried just hitting Copy in Toast and going that way?

| You shouldn't even need Toast. Make a disk image in Disk Utility, mount the image, and burn it. I always keep images of install discs on my "files" HD. But only after proving that they'll work.

| iWork '08 can be downloaded from apple.com (the trial is the full version). The only thing you truly need to backup is your serial number.
