I have used BackupEdge to DVD and it works quite well. Still doesn't make much sense to me to backup to a media that requires changing as often as CD or DVD. Hard to do a 30-40 gig backup that way. I guess if you have a limited amount of data that DVD would make sense. -jeff -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Searchable archive at http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
