Looking for disc-spanning backup software

Hi!

I need to backup my hard drive on DVD's but I want to be able to access them later through the windows explorer.

Does anybody know some backup software that can do this (like nero) but can also support disc-spanning?

separating my HDD for 4.7GB discs is so annoying...

Acronis True Image has the option your looking for..... they have their own Image Explorer so you could look into an image if you want.

I found a solution

snowmonkey - thanks but I needed something that is not software dependent - meaning I can take my backup somewhere else and still can see the files with the windows explorer.

oldtimer - you didn't understand, if I have for example a 20GB directory and I want to backup all of it in one instance, I need some software that can tell me "please insert disc 1", "...disc 2" and so on. This is called disc spanning. (And I did meant using DVD's)

So unless I find something better I found an excellent software called "Handy Backup" by Novosoft.

It does disc spanning + it copies the files "as is" to the DVD's.
It also has a very comfortable GUI.

so my problem is finally solved...
