I have an external 300 GB drive dedicated to storing backup data. I also
want to periodically clean up that external drive and save the backed up
data
on CD/DVD media. I would like to automatically schedule the Backup
utility
to do a normal weekly backup of all data, system info etc plus append
incremental backups of this data on a daily basis. Presumably to restore
files etc the backup utility will recognise the date batches on my
external
drive. However once this data is no longer on the external drive (having
been cleaned up and "copied" onto CD/DVD media) does the Backup Utility
still
recognise the data on CD/DVD media for restoration purposes?
It might if the backup file will fit on a single disk. Otherwise, you must
restore the backup file to the hard drive before you can use it.
ATI or Ghost have no such restriction.
At present, I only use Ntbackup to save the system state.
