Enable spanning (split large backups). You can use this option to split
large backups and place data on several discs. If your backup set contains
large files with size exceeding free space available on a single disc, the
program will split such files into several parts and place them on several
discs. Their names will look like (XXXX)name, where XXXX is a exadecimal number.
Perform CRC checking. If this option is checked, Backup Platinum will
perform additional validity check after storing data on a CD/DVD. You can
either use blank (brand-new) CD-R/W, DVD-R/W, DVD+R/W disc, or you should
erase discs, if they were previously formatted with a 3rd party program like
DirectCD.
