Looking at the software (drive image xml), I don't seem to be able to find
the option to pick the folders?

All I can see to do is back up a full drive and/or restore a full drive,
mind you I did download the freeware version, maybe that is why?

Regards
Paul.

my apologies for the
inaccurate information.

I went ahead and ran my
version and saw that the
program images the entire
drive.

for some reason I thought
it could image individual
folders.

there is however a program
called zip central.

it can zip folders and span
them over multiple disks.

you might want to look into
the above to help you out
with the predicament.

I don't think there is anything out there that can create an iso of a
folder unless you meant "backup". If so then Acronis and Norton Ghost
are ideal candidates but they cost money. If you are going to spend the
rest of your life creating backups of folders then investing in these
software is a good investment indeed IMHO.

I agree, zip and winrar will build archives of a specified size, like 4
gig. Splitting them as it goes. Then you just burn them as files to
dvds. I used to do that to floppies. It was really useful there.

Although Zip and Winrar will do exactly what you say, the chances of files
being corrupted in the process is also very high. I have seen many times
that files that are split using Zip (mainly) failed to unzip when I wanted
them to. So caution is also required by way of testing these files before
deleting the source.
