Harry,

If your backup takes more than one CD, it is apparently over 700 mb. In
what partition was BA2KWS putting the ISO file?

In my case that file is going into my primary C:\ partition which has
about 325 mb of free space if no other software has left anything in a
temp directory or temp file. If you moved the ISO file from one partition
to another, how did you do it?

Being stubborn (and stupidly spending the time it took), I decided I would
not install a second hard drive I have but make the BA2KWS-RSJ combination
work. I limit the mb in the files to be backed up to approximately 275 mb
to prevent running out of space in C:\ when the ISO file is written.. As
a result of this parctice I have 3 backup CD-R's with 595, 515, and 320 mb
of files respectively.

The backup required 7 BST files (3 drives in one and a directory or part
of one in the other six), zipping and copy the RSJ directory, and copying
some big backup directories that I created earlier on my hard drive.
