Backup

[Guest]

I tried to backup my hard drive with the utility that came with XP. I had about 12 GB of data, so I thought I would use use 3 DVD RW disks. Well after it filled the first one it said the remainder would not fit, and cancelled the backup! I was expecting it to ask for another disk. Any suggestions?

NTbackup does consider cd's or DVD's backup devices, but
it will write to them with packet writer software in
place, but it cannot span cd's or dvd's

So if I want to use my DVD RWs to do the backup, what are the options?? Can i buy a 3rd party backup program that will do it, or will it not work with any program?? If not, what kind of backup media can I use?? Thanks for your help
