(vs raw mode). The Program creates files that are 672MB. Since you can only get 4400 MB on a regular DVD, that means you need 4594MB of space for 7 files and the DVD will only hold 4489MB...or six of the non-size-selectable DriveImageXML output files. So, you'll waste about 600MB per DVD if you back up to DVD. I don't get it? Why didn't they make the output file size 640MB ea or slightly less so that it would conveniently fit on a DVD? Am I missing something? One problem I found with DriveXML that I can’t find anything about when searching Google is the file size DriveXML creates when making split backups. (vs raw mode).

Reall nice to see that it is a free tool. It seems bit lighter than other backup utilities as well. Reall nice to see that it is a free tool.
