Hi,

I'm making a backup of my whole data-Harddisk (not the OS) to a winrar archive, resulting in one huge
file which I currently store on an external HD. I can however have Winrar split it up in chunks of, for
example 8.3 Gig.

I'm planning to get a Dual Layer DVD writer to make permanent back-ups on a regular basis, but would it
be able to write the chunks I generate? should I keep them under 4Gig?

Maybe I should make chunks of about 2.135.000.000 bytes and put 4 of those on a single DVD (total
would be 8.540.000.000 bytes).

Any ideas about what the best practice is for such applications?
I'm anctious to hear opinions or experiances on this subject.

Thanks in advance,
Louis
