[dba-Tech] Intelligent File Copy

Years ago I had a DOS utility called Jet that had loads of cool features,
one of which was Intelligent File Copy. IOW, if you pointed at a source
directory and target disk, the assumption being that the source is larger
than the target's space, it would optimize the copying to fill as much as
possible on each target disk. When the target was filled, it would prompt
you for a new disk.

I've got a directory containing Downloads, whose total size is about 24 GB,
and I want to copy it all to a series of single-layer 4.7 GB dvds. I could
do it manually, but I'd prefer to automate it as described above.

Any suggestions for a utility to do this?

TIA,
Arthur
