Vista - Backing up large program to disc

Greetings, all--

I'm trying to back up a large program to several discs. In XP this was not a
problem. It prompted you for the next disc. However in Vista (I have the Home
Edition,) I'm told the disc is too small and to either "retry" or "cancel." I
can't believe it doesn't do what XP did...I've already saved the program to a
removable hard drive but I'd like to back it up to disc anyway.

Am I missing something in the control panel? A setting of some kind? Or
doest Vista just NOT do that?

Thanks,

being just restored - they have to be reinstalled. from the original
distribution meadia

Restoring applications does not replace the registry keys or the files that
go outside the program folder.

Backing up in this way is of limited value unless you are creating a
bootable image of the entire drive. ntBackup was never very good for
this, and there are vastly better utilities like Acronis TrueImage - and
they do support disk spanning.

Perhaps you could be clearer about what you are trying to do and why.
