Backup copy on CD  

Last night, after reading various computer gurus warn that doomsday was nigh (the conficker virus), I was scrambling to copy files and folders to CDs before my computer clock clicked over to April 1st. Ha ha, silly me. The worm seems to be a little wimpy.

Anyway, I discovered my AW Database folder is now way, way too big for a single 80-minute CD. So I purged and archived everything prior to Jan. 1 2008, and it's still too large (939 MB). I really don't want to delete any archived files (461 MB), so I guess the solution would be to copy the Database files minus the Archive folder. Is that what most of you do? Just make backup copies of the Archive on one disk and the rest of the Database files on another disk?

By the way, I also copy the program to an external drive every few days, run the AW Backup utility every two days, and create a ghost image of my whole computer every day. So I'm pretty well covered, but it's still comforting to have the data on a CD.
