My PAF back-up file now exceeds the capacity of one disk. I know I should be able to use two disks. I am using PAF 5.2 and Windows 98. I want/need *step-by-step* instructions on how to set this up. I discovered it was not automatic! I've tried the Help files in PAF and Windows under all subject names I can think of without success. Can someone tell me where I can find this information? Your help will be appreciated. P. Wright nstn5512@ca.inter.net Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

If you are using the File_Backup command and selecting the floppy drive, it should be automatic. The only problem might be if your disks are not actually empty. Make sure to use freshly formatted disks, and not the quick format, but the full process. If you are creating a backup to the hard drive and then trying to manually copy that file to the floppy it will not work. To span multiple floppies you have to create the backup directly to the floppy drive.
