    Hi,

    I am told that Nero does not support multi disk backups : I have a very large file that I need to copy/move....May I have your help or suggestions on how I can do this...


    Thank you '

    Gilbert

    Hi camper66
    Welcome to aD!
    How large is the file? What type of file is it?
    Does your drive support writing to DVD's?

    Hi Camper
    Almost a gig so here's 2 suggestions:
    Right click on the .pst - pick send to and choose your dvd drive to write to a dvd. Does the pc that has this file have the dvd writer?

    Or if by chance you have a 1 gig or more flash stick w/ .98 mb available- transfer with that. Same thing right click .pst send to and pick the flash stick to transfer.

    Forgot one - in case this pc doesn't have a dvd writer or no flash stick w/ available space.
    Create a 2nd .pst. Then move some of the emails/folders to the new .pst - enuf that each .pst can fit to a cd. Then burn each one.
    You can combine them again if you like once transfered.

    Hey D!
    LOL - I've blown up/locked up my email several times at work w/ large personal folders - this is the trick I do to get it working again :)

    @camper66

    You can also use WinRAR to create a file using "split archive" to break it into smaller files which can later be pieced back together.

    Thank you very much all guys... for the moment I have chosen to write the file to a dvd. Ideally allowing a multi-cd feature in a future Nero would have been perfect.

    thnx
