Florin Set the Pool to similar like this
Pool { Name = Disc-Full Pool Type = Backup Storage = File Recycle = yes Volumes AutoPrune = yes Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 Maximum Volume Bytes = 4400000000 # Your requirement Volume Retention = 10 days Maximum Volumes = 30 LabelFormat = Full } As each Volume is needed it will be labeled Full0001, Full002 etc. Only one Job will be written to the Volume so you may end up with Full0001 -- Full000N with the last one being less than the 4 GB . You can then transfer these to DVD (You may want to use Software Compression). My 2c worth Stephen Carr Florin Andrei wrote: > I am using v2.0.2 with pretty much default settings.
