RE: [OT] Backup LARGE files to DVD-R

["Jonathan@xxxxxxx" <jonathan@xxxxxxx>]

Most low end backup applications will create a single file NT Backup for
example; most backup systems aimed at lager data storage anticipate using
tape devices, like Arcserve or Veritas.  Applications such as RAR or winzip
will split files but I don't know of any backup systems that will slplit
the
backup into separate chunks of a set size.  In most instances this split
backup method still creates a file that is required to extract the rest
just
like you found with Nero.  If your data doesn't change much the do a full
backup and then incrementals.

Could do - but I want a quick and simple solution where I don't have to
mess
around with splitting files manually... ?

Use WinRAR to compress and split the files into chunks that will go onto
each disc.

Can anyone recommend a really good backup program that can backup files to
DVD-R and split really big files between disks. Really, all I need is a
straight copy for all smaller files and a split facility for the big ones.
I
want the backups to be readable by ANY PC, so not in a proprietary format.

I did try the new Nero BackItUp prog but it's complete PANTS!  If you loose
the backup set file (log of all files backed up), I can't see any way of
re-creating or restoring the large files split between disks - also some
bugs :-(

Any thoughts?

Paul.
