| You're not alone Durwin. I automatically backup to a folder on an
external hard drive and need a program to automatically split and copy
this folder over DVD-RWs (of course I would have to unload and load
the DVD-RWs). I've done the splitting process -- winrar'd the folder
into 4.37GB parts -- now I just need software to write the individual
parts to DVD-RWs (erase, write, verify).
Did you have success?
If I have success, I'll come back and tell everyone how I did it.
