Windows XP backup to DVD-R (Pioneer A03)

[bsobel]

Does anyone know of a good backup program that will backup to the Pioneer A03 (DVD-R DVD-RW) drive. NtiBackupNow has been promising DVD support 'by the end of the year 2001' (sigh), and Dantz Retrospect doesn't handle the drive (it does on Mac, just not certified on Windows and the trial version just errored talking to the drive).

All I want to do is backup a network share and automatically split it over DVD-RW media. I don't need to restore system state or anything like that on the local box. Any pointers?

Thanks,
Bill

I'm not aware of a specific backup program, but PKZip used to have the option of zipping files and save the zip to multiple disks. Coupled with the Veritas drive letter assignment application (came with my Pioneer A04), that'd get you backed-up to the DVD.

FWIW

Thanks Scott, but I'm looking for something a bit more automatic (there are zillion such apps for CD-RW, there has to be atleast one for DVD-RW)

Update, Veritas BackupMyPc (now from Stomp) seems to support my drive. I just bought the ESD version and it's off formatting its first victim (DVD-RW media). Takes about 90 minutes to format (I'm assuming it only needs to do that once!).
