You mean the whole thread is about dividing 1000 though 4? As you can see from my request I don't have the time to wade through the thread, but I would assume that people would suggest using alternative backup media than DVD or at least give a solution for smaller capacities. > You don't need a wiki page to post one sentence: "Don't do that with a volume > of data that large because it's both impractical and unreliable." You probably don't need a thread of dozens of replies to estabish that either. I still hope there is some juice in the fruit. Anyway let's paraphrase the original request as I hope it had been done as "what (cheap) backup methods are there for largish disk media on DVD/blue-ray type of backups" -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
