You mean the whole thread is about dividing 1000 though 4? As you can
see from my request I don't have the time to wade through the thread,
but I would assume that people would suggest using alternative backup
media than DVD or at least give a solution for smaller capacities.

You probably don't need a thread of dozens of replies to estabish that
either. I still hope there is some juice in the fruit.

Anyway let's paraphrase the original request as I hope it had been
done as "what (cheap) backup methods are there for largish disk media
on DVD/blue-ray type of backups"
