I want to burn my backup of HD from my computer to cd-r disks via the Ghost
software. I realize i have to span it on 650mb's disks. how to figure the
amount of disks I would need on hand?

Am I missing something here?

Assuming no compression, 2.66GB / 650MB = 4.09
So, have 5 disks handy.

You would need around 5 discs.
About 2660mb / 650mb = 4.09 discs
