After the burn

When I come back there is no "Success" dialog, but I am returned to my burn folder, and there is a new disk icon named "My Data Files" on my desktop, as shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7: A new disc icon is shown on the desktop when the burning process successfully finishes.

This is a quiet way of letting me know that the burn process succeeded. Had I stayed and watched the whole backup process I would have seen the progress bar first show that the data was being written to the disk, and then being verified.

To finish up I just close my burn folder, and eject my disk by dragging it to the eject button on the dock.

Had the burn process failed ...

On the few times I've seen the burn process fail I've found that my CD or DVD is ejected when I come back. I'm also 98% sure that a "Verification Failure" dialog is also displayed, but this hasn't happened in a while, hence the uncertainty. Either way, I do know that the disk is ejected, and there will not be a new icon on the Desktop.

Of course if this happens just insert a new disk and try again.
