Good tool to split 75 gigs into 4.7 GB isos / folders?

[PCRepairWV]

What is a good tool for this? Also would be cool if it could split for CD-RWs and such.

Thanks for any suggestions.

DriveimageXML will split its image up in to 700Mb chunks.

Ah, I only want to back up a user profile. Not to mention, this is a Mac so I need to specify a folder on an external hard drive. Sorry, didn't think about being specific, guess that would be a good idea.

You could copy everything to a FAT32 drive, then use DVD Span on a PC http://hcidesign.com/dvdspan/manual.html

I don't know of anything on mac, sorry.

NTFS write support isn't there in OS X. You can enable it with third party stuff.

We have used a program called "Capacity" I just cant find a link for it.

For this sort of thing I use something like (Win)RAR to create chunks of 700MB (6 of them fit nicely on a DVD).

Using an archiver is a neat way to:
- divide the data in chunks
- ensure the data is correct
- store all meta-data (if required)
- add parity/repair data to counter storage media issues
- reduce the number of disks you need to burn
