Photo Backup?

Hi!

I have thousands and thousands of photos from my digital camera that I have collected over the years, but they are starting to take up too much space. So I want to know if anyone knows of software that I can dump a directory of files on, and it will write the first 700MB worth of files, and then prompt you to insert the next CD and so on?

I really want to avoid having to do it manually.

Thanks a lot!

The mkisofs switch -volset-size may be useful... I only skipped through the man pages quickly, so there may be more useful options yet :D Good luck.

Hi. Thanks for the reply..

From the manpage

Code:

-volset-size #

              Sets the volume set size to #.  The volume set size

              is the number of CD's that are in a  CD  set.  The

              -volset-size option may be used to create CD's that

              are part of e.g. a  Operation  System  installation

              set of CD's.  The option -volset-size must be spec-

              ified before -volset-seqno on each command line.

I'm not entirely sure how this will work? Could you please explain it to me?

Thanks :)
