Backup software that will span DVDs?
I'm looking for some backup software that I can use to run full backups of my important files. I'd like to backup my video, music, photographs, documents, etc. to DVDs. All of my video, music, and photo directories are larger than 5GB, so simply copying the directory over to a single DVD each isn't feasible. What's a good backup software to use that can span DVDs to create backup sets? I think that the .mac Backup is capable of doing this... but I have no other use for .mac and paying $99 a year for the privilege of running backups of my personal workstation is a bit outrageous. Is there any software that mimics the .mac functionality but that can be purchased "outright"?

to me, having that ability for $99 is worth it. if you get other stuff with it fine, but backup alone was worth the $99.
it's not like Toast would be any cheaper.
You mentioned Toast. Can Toast due something similar? The span DVD thing is the main feature I'm looking for.
Backup and retrospect will for sure though I know
the other thing you can try is just burning from the desktop. put in a blank dvd and the icon will show up on your desktop, dump your stuff in there, right-click and click burn disc, and see if it will span automatically for you.
