I've done a backup of files and folder from My Documents, i want to put onto DVD, is there a Utilty that can split my backup into manage CD or DVD size folders.

eg. i have 22GB backup, most are photos in sub folders. A program to split that 22GB into 5 folders to fit onto DVDs.

Why make things more difficult than needed.

Just copy as many photos to a DVD as will fit and repeat as needed. Make 2 copies while you are at it.

If you insist on keeping multiple individual files as one folder then there are many programs to SPAN multiple DVDRs. If you have Nero or Roxio, read the help files as many version of those programs can span multiple disks.

Imaging programs may also be able to accomplish what you want to do.

Are you backing up other personal files too?

yes other personal files too, favourites, outlook express etc.

I've moved all to one folder called backup. If i had vista, it would be ok, it simply justs ask u to put in another dvd, where nero on xp says insert bigger disc
