After examining my computer, Backup My PC Deluxe v6.0 says to make a new disaster recovery set I will need several diskettes and CDs. My computer has no diskette drive. I want to make the set using CDs and store a full backup on an external hard drive. Is this possible?

Unfortunately, not currently. You can make a full backup, but it is not a DR. My understanding is that the next version (version 7 I think) will have that feature (I hope). Only other suggestion is to get either an internal and put it in yourself or get a USB attached floppy.
