You can have two backups of the same backup job on different CDs (or DVDs). An idea is to use one CD (DVD) for daily backups and another one for weekly or monthly backups. You can also consider backing up onto a second CD or DVD when you finished working on some documents and you want to keep those files for a longer time. Use the CD (DVD) for daily backups to store intermediate versions of your files.

The application provides a way to exclude files and folders from backup by un-checking them in the Sources page of the Backup Properties window. Try to minimize the number of files and folders which you exclude from the backup. This way the backup process will run faster.

If you have to use zip compression, set the compression level to Zip without compression or Low compression in order to speed up the backup process. Use High compression only when you want to create the smallest archive possible. Often the highly compressed zip archives will only be marginally smaller than the ones with medium compression.
