Author software that can know disk space

Does anyone know if any backup app can estimate disk space on a backup to a
harddisk, and then either append or erase based on space? For instance, if
one had a 25 gig nightly backup, and a 120mb disk to backup to, you could
fit 4 nights before needing to erase.

Thanks,

Randy Starkey

Relative Rev Backup can solve this problem. It can take incremental backup
to the same backup media over nad over, and at the same time any restore in
a single step operation, as it rebuild a full backuo image from the multidue
of incremental backups seamlessly.

Also you could try Backup4all, you can do either incremental or full backup
and you can also see how much it will occupy the archive that will be
created and also you can have different archiving options. Hope that it
helps, download link: http://www.backup4all.com/download.php

Thanks - I just tried retrospect and it's too much of a resource hog and too
messy on the GUI. I'm trying for something simpler - but this probably
doesn't back up security info - I'll have to check that. It looks clean and
simple though. It seems as thought the big boys have trouble doing their
interfaces simply.
