Re: Back-Up



Windows Backup won't write to DVDs. If you want to back up the C:
drive, you'll have to write the backup file to another drive such as
a USB-attached drive and then copy the backup file to a DVD. If the
backup file is too large to fit on a DVD, you will have to use some
program to split the backup file first so that the split pieces will
fit on multiple DVDs.

I believe the Advanced settings in backup will allow that?

In All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Back-up, when preparing to
back up "entire computer" the only option was the A drive 0r
"floppy." What on earth? I use DVDs, but usually perform this mess
myself (haven't segmented the HD). Greatly appreciate your advice.
Thank you. info:
