Windows Backup

[Tim Hess]

Does anyone know if and how to get the backup in Win XP Pro to backup
across multiple DVD's? I got a message stating the media was full and
the backup aborted. I read one article in the knowledge base that said
it could backup across more than one but the program had to be run
manually. I was doing this and did what the article said to do but still
no good.
Thanks

You can't. It is a tape-oriented program (brought forward from NT I
think for the sake of those wanting to bring tapes along) and the only
media it recognises as removable, and hence span-able, are tapes and
floppies
