[AccessD] OT Friday: Diskettes on the fly?

Arthur, why don't you back the 1TB to another 1TB - they are cheap enough

I remember a program called FastBack that I used to back up my 10MB hard
disk. LOL. It took about 50 diskettes to do a single backup. Now I'm faced
with similar problems. You know many dual-layer DVDs it takes to back up a
Terabyte? Sheesh.
