Thanks, Bryan. I am planning to make my backups to my hard disk and, from time to time, I will save them to CDs. However, I fear that a backup file may be bigger than the storage capacity of a CD. So, I would like to ask whether there exists a way of circumvent this difficulty. Thanks in advance, Paul
