This will work fine. Create the image to the Zip disks. Using the Image Editor divide the image file into however many files it needs to be able to fit on your CDR's. The image will restore fine.

> I'm using Drive Image 2.0 and I'm trying to come up with a backup strategy for my laptop, which has a CD rom but a smallish HD of 1.4 GB, with only .3 GB free. I can create an image on a parallel port zip drive. This works O.K., using 8 disks, though it takes forever. What I would like to do then, is copy the files from the zip disks to my desktop's HD and burn them on two CDR disks, so the first CDR disk for example would contain image1.pqi, image1.002, . . ., image1.006. The question I have is whether I will be able to restore the image from the CDR's. I notice that drive image creates a volume label for each zip disk used, and I wonder whether the restore process will hang up because I can't provide it with disks that have the volume labels it is looking for. If the way I suggest won't work, do you have any alternatives to try other than restoring from the zip disks. I would really like to use the disks for other purposes and have my archive image on CDR media. Plus, if my system works, you would only need to use two zip disks, because you could copy the file from one to the HD while the other was being used for the saving of the next portion of the image. > > Thanks for your response. |
