Yeah! What I wanted was to backup to a CD and do it by automatically spanning
multiple CD's, if and as necessary. I did not want to "Mickey Mouse" around with it by
manually splitting it up to 2 or more backups, each under 700 MB in size. I wanted it all
done automatically, as advertised by BA2K. When it did not work, I gave up quickly
and went to using hard drives, where I have plenty of room.

Some day I should ask CDS about my problem with CD's. I my case the backup to
multiple CD's appeared to proceed to completion OK. However, when I tried to restore
from the CD's, BA2K could not find the correct info on either CD. It kept asking me to
insert the correct CD.
