Completed the full volume backups about a week ago and backed up volumes C:, D:
and E:
each to a separate DVD+R DL disk.
I was surprised at the speed of which the backups took place and the number of
DVD+R DL disks
that were consumed in the process. These are the results running NG 10 RAW
without compression
Volume C: total time 2 hours 5 disks
Volume D: total time 40 minutes 2 disks
Volume E: total Time 38 minutes 1 disk.
Today is my last day of work thank God we uaually close at 5pm but we'll close
at 3pm est makes no diference to me since I get off at 3pm. We may be getting a
little snow a first for the season on the right coast. I'd like to wish
everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving.

If this is a regular process,
I wouldn't bother with the backup after the Cleansweep and Speedisk.
Recovery will be the whole partition, or just a few? files, so either will
work from the pre-cleanup copy onto the cleaned partition, and your next
backup will get the benefit from the cleaned and tidied partitions.
Also, if by optimising you mean speedisk, I wouldn't have expected that to
have much effect on the backup, especially compared to the work involved in
maximum compression
I haven't got NG 10 but can you specifically exclude the pagefile (and
hiber.sys), and/or the images of C and D, from a backup ?
And - have you considered the (relatively) small amount of space on C:?
I run W2K with about that amount of space, and I do not use a DL DVD, but
still run into occasional problems, especially with software downloads that
want to build all files into temp space on the OS partition before they get
transferred to the place I told the process to put the files
