I was under the impression a backup was a simple thing, when we are always being told to backup before we do anything different. But if it's going to take in excess of 8 disks, and over half a day to do it, then I will have to think again. Wonder why I couldn't format my disks, they were brand new?
Ah! Just read the above post, didn't think to use DVDs. May try that next. Can't do the maths either Zing, but can guarantee that my little pc is no match for your mighty machine lol.
