amen to that. What user (Home or otherwise) is going to bother with backups
when the backup offering from MS spits out multi-Giga-byte files. Seriously,
how hard is it to even chunk it into CD-sized chunks, use the CD writing
component that *is there*, and auto-magically ask "please insert backup CD
#13". I remember doing that at least 10 years ago with floppies. Surely MS
isnt that backward...
