external-harddrive

Hi

I have Norton Ghost and I have 2 drives dedicated to backing up my files. One is an external drive the other is internal.

Now my internal drive has filled up with backups and I now want to copy all those backups to my external drive.

However it seems to want me to do it one by one. Can I do it like a batch or some mass copy so it does one after another so I can say have my computer all night on?

My plan was to fill up my internal drive -> copy it to my external drive -> fill up my external drive -> copy it to my external drive.

Once my external drive would be filled up I then would start deleting the oldest backups but that probably would give me like 6 months of backs that I can back through if I would ever need too.
