Backups

[Stringent]

Is there some software that will back up to CDRWs but span the whole backup over them rather than sorting out what files go on what CD. Or even a program that will span a massive file over some CDs. So if I do a backup of my hard disk (critical files are at 2GB!) then I can span tem over a set of CD's.

Do I make sense? Sorry if I don't first thing in the morning!

Genie Back up Manager can back up your computer over several CDs and I believe EZCD Creator 6 can also perform back ups over several cds.

Thanks, giving Genie a try

Don't hold me to this, but I think the newer Neros can do it as well.

If you wanna backup your harddisk,better use programs like Acronis TrueImage,Norton Ghost,DriveImage and similar......they are much more reliable to perform a system backup...

Yeah but they dont span over multiple CDs I think. Genie seems to work fine.

Hi,

Au contraire! Both DriveImage and Ghost span CDs as they make a system backup. In addition, both have tools that allow you to selectively restore 1 or more files from the backup rather than doing a full restore. I like and use DriveImage, but Ghost is just as good.

I always use Drive Image and I'm really satisfy with this program

Not only CDs.......Ghost 2003 even spans over multiple DVD media.....

The current versions of Drive Image, Deploy Center and Norton Ghost allow spanning over multiple CDs. Personally, I use Deploy Center, having found it more reliable than Norton Ghost and supports all M$ disk (FAT, FAT32 and all current NTFS) and LINUX volumes.
