How to create backup that is split across DVD's
I have searched but can't seem to see the answer. (I have 2014 Premium)
Now with many computers not coming with hard copies of software, when the disk goes bad you cant recover to factory using the software on the hard drive.
I want to create DVD's of the computer when its first installed with all my programs.
However when I boot off of CD there appears to be no options to backup and break the backup into parts that would fit on DVD. Is this possible, or not?
Thanks.

Thank you for your response. And it makes sense.
Additionally, I have created 4 DVD's with the method you have mentioned above.
To recover would I use the Acronis boot CD and then point the source to the DVD?
Thanks.

Thats correct. And as the image is restored, you will be prompted to insert the next disc. Be sure to label each DVD with a sharpie.

Mit ATI 2013, muss ich die Images, vor der Wiederherstellung auf eine externe Festplatte kopieren.

Hi G. Uphoff,
I wonder which KB article is correct?

More information
You do not need to have all of the volumes of a multi-volume image residing within the same folder to validate or restore it. An image can be restored or validated even if it is spanned over several CD or DVD discs.
I think however, you are correct, as I have not used DVD's as a destination since v9. If copying all chunks to one folder is required, this further demonstrates why this media is not a good (reliable) choice for back ups. They introduce one point of failure after another, even if the back up doesn't span and only requires one disc. One hiccup or disc read error and you're done :)
Cheers!
