You can try this freeware or buy some backup program that spans cd's.

 

Hi.

That's always a problem, having a file larger than a CD can hold.

Take a look here:

There's lots of downloadable freeware file splitters that will do the job. Also, don't work too close. If the CD will hold 700mb, split the file down to around 500mb segments or less. Give the CD an edge. Be sure to read the blurb on each one to be sure it will reassemble the file after you dump them from CD back to hd later. You might want to download a few of them and play around with it to see which one you like.
