How to backup onto multiple DVD's?

[Guest]

Hi

I am wanting to run Windows Backup to backup to DVD, however there is not
enough capacity on a single DVD to support this. Is there a way that I can
backup to multiple DVD disks? Currently the backup terminates when the first
DVD is full.

Thanks

I have Roxio Easy Media Creator 8.5 that I use to write to DVDs. It came
with its own backup program which, I'm assuming, can do backups to multiple
DVds or CDs.

If you have a version of Roxio check what came with it; maybe Nero has
something similar if that's what you have.

Yup, Win Backup doesn't know hot to span disks (except for floppies)Actually
it doesn't know how to handle optical drives, but as it's just a drive
letter, if it fits on 1 disk, that might work...

You need a 3rd party program if you backup data doesn't fit on one disk...

Thanks Jerry, Thomas.

Yes backup to DVD works fine, however 1 disk isn't enough. Third party
product it is then!
