Backup RMS to CD

The file is actually being saved by the service account that SQL Server is running under. You can create a batch file to run the backup then copy the file - backup scripts have been posted here (try searching Google Groups) and I think there is one in the Knowledge Base...

You can use the RMS backup utility to create a .bck file that can be drag & drop copied to CD.
You cannot backup directly to CD.

Better yet back it up to a removable hard drive or jump drive. CD's can get optical errors that you won't know about.... Until you need the data. You can get 1gb jump drives for about $50 and they're a lot faster than CD burns.
