I think I found a partial solution for my quest for finding a suitable backup application.

Nero BackItUp 3 does is, up to a certain extent:
1. can do incremental backups (remembers which files has been backed up, and which has been modified after the previous backup)
2. can backup as not archives

but still, i have to manually fit the data into DVDs. i don't burn them to DVDs straight away. i first backup to the hard disk, then find the files which best fit to a DVD, then burn them. Then I add the disk and its file structure to the DVD database (Smart CD Cataloger Pro) so I know where the file I'm looking for is located at.

So basically, to make it the best backup application, I need two more things in it:
1. when a big folder is inputted to be backed up, it needs to group them in sizes of 4483GiB (less is fine because can't perfectly fit a DVD, BUT not MORE, of course).
2. Nero splits files larger than 2GB into 2GB files, and that sucks! It should not do that! That restriction is not there is the default file format is UDF!

I do,but only TV series.If I wanted a backup It would surely be two Samsung F1 500GiBs in a RAID1.
Why would you wanna do that? I'd want a NAS! That would be cool :D
BTW, are F1's available in SL? Not that I wanna buy, but just...hehe. You never know, one day I might go crazy and pickup a couple of those babies :D
