Well, I am selling this current HD and I need to back up my files to somewhere. I have no 2nd HD, no CD-RW..so I will use Gmail, it's cumbersome...but I ain't got a choice here.

Anyway, Gmail only let you attach one file at a time, I have over 1000 files in the folder which I want to back up...so is there a way I can back up the entire folder all at once? Has anyone done this before?

Try zipping a 10-10 files together?

How much data does the combined files of said folder constitute?


*edit*
Regardless use Winzip (get it from Winzip.com) and zip up 10mb of files at a time, and email it to yourself.

How exactly do I do that? I think XP has the zip program built-in, right?
I have winrar also..I tried it once, but I couldn't find the compressed file after the process :(

select the files > right click > send to > compressed zip folder

This is going to be such a hassle, I have 1.5gb to zip :(
