Spanning Large Backups across multiple DVD disc drives?
Hi,
I would like to know why ATI2013 can't select multiple DVD disc drives to store large backups? And if I'm wrong about this type of configuration, how do I accomplish this?
Thanks in advance . . .

With external hard drives so inexpensive now, they are our preferred media for external backup storage.
Thanks tuttle for your quick response. I have tried several other applications with standard features that allow selection of multiple DVD drives and thought this same feature might exist in this application as well. I have made a small investment in Verbatim DL discs and wanted to put them to good use for storing my data. Since I am on a fixed income, I need to keep things in perspective when it comes to the purse strings and such. As a matter of fact I already have tb's of space that I can temporarily allocate to the process of backing up my data, but I kind of hate creating multiple steps for myself since these machines can do such great things for us today in this super information era. I just needed to know how to accomplish the task of multiple disc drive selections for future task. Thanks again . . . Tom Johnson
