- How do I span large backups across several .bkf files?
- Posted by Rich Staples on November 4th, 2005
I would like to have the backup utility automatically create and span
multiple .bkf files. I would like to stipulate that each .bkf file has a
size limit of about 700MB. This way I can copy the backups to a CD-R for an
archive set.
Does anyone know if this is easily accomplished without estimating backup
sizes and strategically selecting data.
Thanks,
Rich

Ntbackup doesn't span. Either divide your backup into CD size chunks or use
a third party backup program.
