Blu-Ray for Data Backup

I want to use my Blu-Ray burner to backup my PC data. I have a 3 TB data HDD and I want to use 100 GB discs to make hard copy backups for offsite - I also do an external HDD..

Does anyone have a blu-ray backup program that you can dump say 2 TB of data into the hopper and the program will chew through 100 GB discs, one after the other - automatically - until a complete backup is complete. I used to do this with Roxio on CD's, sometime more than 20 CD's - but I understand Roxio isn't the same - one site said it is full of bloatware.

Please recommend a program that will provide for automatic blu-ray backups.

Thanks -

NERO Burning Rom has a backup feature, you point it at a folder or drive, and it tells you how many discs.

100GB is the new BDXL format, make sure your drive supports triple-layer discs BDXL discs before buying those expensive pieces of plastic :)

For what it's worth / JMHO:
A single BDXL disc is in the neighborhood of $40-50, compared to a fast 1TB hard disk or slow 3TB drive around $100, you might want to consider them as an alternative.
