How to Use Nero 8 to Span Multiple DVDs
While the Nero Burning Rom tool, most commonly used for burning in Nero 8, does not support the spanning of disks, the included BackItUp tool does. Nero BackItUp enables a user to run scheduled and manual backups of a variety of media types. Since the tool is primarily used as backup software, it is designed to request a new DVD from the user each time it runs out of space during the backup. You can span entire libraries of data across as many DVDs as is necessary using this tool.
