Backup that can span multiple CDRW's

[Paul Kraemer]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if the Backup utility that comes with
Windows XP Pro will allow me to create a backup to CDRW
that would span multiple disks if necessary.

If not, any recommendations of software that I can do
this with would be appreciated. I'm looking for
something not too expensive, and if it could work with
DVD burners as well, that would be great.

Thanks,
Paul

No, and try BackUp MyPC from Stomp Software,

The backup utility that comes with XP will not write directly to cdrw.
Ghost 2003 will create an image and span multiple cds and includes support
for burning to dvd.

No it won't. The only media it regards as removable are tapes (well -
and floppies)

You will have to shop around, but one well regarded package is BackUp My
PC by Veritas - see www.stompinc.com
