backing up pics
i have lots of photos that i need to back up but how do i do it?
im pretty good with pcs but all i want to do is back up all my pics to cd were by inserting one after the othe untill they are all full i have nero but when you have filled one disc (multisession)and want to continue you cant as it doesnt know were to back up to/from..
i used to us back up lit may moons ago but no more any help would be nice.
its a pane in the asre when you have to keep note of the file you got up to before you can follow on with another disc....

i just create a new dir
CD1
CD2
etc
copy the files into the directories - check to see how close to the max size 650MB they are and then copy everything from the directory.

I copy on to DVD now so I do the same
DVD1
DVD2
etc

I also make two copies just incase.

i dont like using INCD or that type of software, found it to not be 100% reliable - i prefer to write the CD or DVD all at once and close the session.

hi j60hnt

looks like etaf has you covered... I'll edit your title so it doesn't look like a cooking class... baking or backing
