I was trying to back up a sizable chuck of data from a harddrive that is damaged.  I saved the .rcl after I choose the data to burn because the harddrive occassionally crashes.  The project was supposed to span 13 disks but twice now I have tried it and it crashes before it can complete them all.  I can't figure out how to tell Easy CD creator to START recording on disk 10.  Can someone please let me know?  Thanks.

It is not going to do that and I can not think of a single backup program that will…

Disc spanning is the Second best way to lose all of your data. The Best way is to use a packet writer like Drag to Disc!

Frankly, if it were mine, I would replace the drive and after I had the system running again, install the old HD as a slave and copy the files to the new HD.

All i can tell u is mine spanned 7 disc.

But around 5 i ran into issues
and had to indvidual drag the files
over my self and tell it to continue
burning. It didnt pick up
where it left off.

It was a pain.
