With the recent rash of porn site popups and malware on my computer, i have decided to go for it and switch to vista.

I have "obtained" my copy of the OS and am ready to format but i want to find a good program to manage the files i want to keep.

Its mostly music, movies and some ISO's of some programs i dont want to re-download.

Idealy i would like to just select the files i want and the program info i would like to keep (ie outlook) and burn to multiple DVD's.

Is there a good peice of backup software that will allow me to spread a big chunk of files over multiple DVD5's?

This program must be xp/vista compatible.

Thanks in advance guys.

Thanks guys! :rolleyes:

Anyway i was sitting here thinking about the install and it struck me!

I used partition magic and created a partition the size of all the info i wanted to keep. Then transfered it all over. Format C: and i install windows on the C partition. The i used Partition Magic again to remove the backup partition and add the free space back to the main partition. Problem solved and without burning 67gigs of DVD's!
