Cannot make a backup!!!!!

Thread needs solution

Hi Folks,
i cannot make a backup on just one DVD DL.
If i make the Backp on an external HD i do not get any problem and the size is about 6GB.
The DVD DL has a capacity of 8,5GB, but when i try to make the Backup Acronis ask me for a first media and that let me think that i need more then one DVD.
I have also tried with the previous version of Acronis TI and have the same results.
Why this?
Where am i missing?
Please anyone can help me?
Any help will be really appreciated.

Have you actually made a backup to DVD? Asking for the first media does not necessarily mean that a second disk would be requested.

Yes i did and it asks for a second disk.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

Check the backup creation options where you selected DVD as destination. It's possible that you have it set to split the backup into smaller files, perhaps 4 GB each.

Can you confirm that if you make the backup to HD it's only 6 GB?
How large was the backup that you made to DVD?

I have cheked the Backup Options but did not find where it says that It's possible to have set to split the backup into smaller files.
Please can you tell exactly where and what to check?
I have tried to make a backup on an external HD ( Which i don'like to do ) and the size of the bacgkup is:

6.388.225 Kb while the Dual Layer DVD has a capacity of 8.5 GB.
Any other Help?
Thanks once more.
