DVD's are the floppies of the 21st century ... you would need a crate of
DVD's to backup most modern PC's these days ... and it's helaciously slow.

I do recommend ghost ... and the current version (at least the one that
ships with Norton System Works) allows the backup to occur while the
system is running.  Previous versions required that you take the PC into
restricted state.

Personally, I have ghost running on my PC and do an incremental backup
every two hours to a network drive.
