Hi there

I have an 12" Powedbook superdrive 100 GB HD and I have never done a backup of my information yet. I would like to burn it on DVD's but how can I quickly devide the info up to 14 DVD's...

I have tried Toast but it just complains that there is not enough space on my DVD. Is there any other program that could split the info over some DVD's?

Anders

If I were you, I'd simply by an external hard drive, and constantly back up the information. It's much less of a hassle, a lot faster, and you don't have to keep buying new DVD's . Of course, it might be useful to back up to DVD's once a year or so, and for that, I don't have an answer to your question.

i've never used super duper, but i have been been using chronsync for a few months now, and i really like it a lot. it's an all around great app, well worth the $30 or whatever they charge for it.
