Best Softare to Archive to Multiple DVDs

[brunjest]

What is best software to Archive Projects to multiple Double Layer DVDs??

Just bought a DVD burner that supports DVD+R Double Layer.

I want to archive some projects to clear out disk space. The included software is Nero Express which does not seem to span multiple DVDs. Some of my projects are 30GBs and I want to be able to archive a project to a set of Double Layer DVDs.

Would like to keep files in uncompressed and identical order to what is on disk drive.

Suggestions??

I'm sure you will get some good replies to your question. The people at this site are great. However, you might give another site your question.

I've had good luck doing that here http://club.cdfreaks.com/index.php?

After I restore from my DVD archive, when I go into the project and make burn DVD movie, the DVD template I had associated with the project is gone. I can still associate it, but the edits I did for the movie, moving scenes, renaming etc, were gone.

Any ideas on why a DVD template is gone after you essentially copy a Elements Premiere project to DVD and back to the hard drive in a different location????

FYI that ..

So I am now using Backup4All to do my archives to DVDs. Seems to work good. Spans DVDs and matches Also, I want to keep files in uncompressed and identical order to what is on disk drive.

- I tried CyberLink PowerBackup 2.5 but that creates a "backup" file which contains the files, so I can't access them directly without Cyberlink.

- I tried the included Nero Express and that doesn't span DVDs.

- I tried Acronis, but that also creates a "backup" file which contains the files, so I can't access without Acronis.

I tried Backup4All 3.7 and that seems to do the job.

Is there a file size limitation for DVD+R DL (other than the obvious 8GB or so)??

I have been trying to archive a 16.5GB directory of Adobe Premiere Element project and it fails. One of the avi files is huge, the software chokes on it and is unable to copy it to the DVD, even though there is plenty of space!

Any ideas??
