Mairead Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I couldn't find existing mention of this when I searched on 'multi-disc'. Any chance of multi-disc volumes? I.e., where we could pass IB the root of an arbitrarily large subtree, plus perhaps a depth-first vs breadth-first preference, and thereafter just feed in new discs as wanted til the whole subtree was archived? Possibly even have the option to suspend the copy if we exhaust our day or blank discs before we exhaust the subtree?
mmalves Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Wouldn't it be far easier to use a backup program? Those features are available on most of them.

That's a good question, and one to which I don't know the answer. Except under various Unices, I gave up trying to use dedicated backup utilities long ago, when they still wrote exclusively to tape drives. Unrecoverably, usually.
blutach Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Or Paragon HD Manager (there's a free version out there somewhere). Regards
Mairead Posted March 18, 2009 Author Posted March 18, 2009 Acronis True Image I'm not sure it would be a good idea to trust backups to a company that can specify Vista as a system requirement and also imply that a P1 chip and 256MB is sufficient to run it. But I'm running W2K, so I'm out of luck regardless. I appreciate the suggestion, though.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Don't go for the 2009 version then, previous versions will be ok with Windows 2000. In fact, the echo workstation version actually lists Windows 2000 SP4.
