Okay, how do you get 40gb of data onto two DVD's? If I wanted to create a
disk image of my hard drive, including OS and all files and programs, there
is no way this could all fit on two disks. The only practical solution
would be to backup onto an external hard drive, which requires an
inaccessible boot CD for recovery, no matter which Backup utility is use.
I'm running XP Pro, and have successfully created disk images using Paragon
Backup and Recovery, but restoring these images would require sighted help
to use the boot CD.

Not true at all. In the past I would only need 2 DVD-r disks to backup my
Windows XP computer. I would name my images after types of cars, types of
fruit, and other categories. I would then label my disks Mustang1 and
Mustang2. Now in the age of Windows7 I use dual layer DVDs and still use
on
the average 2 DVD-rs. Like I said before, I make an image on to DVD-r
biweekly and in the interim I make images to external hard drives. With
some
creativity there is always a way around a problem.

But the problem with optical media is that you may need a hell of a lot of
disks to hold the drive image, which could get real messy.

It isn't something that you have to do unless you're trying to recover
your
system from an external drive instead of optical media. The problem with
that method is that it is not blind friendly at all. I found out after
creating such a disk myself.

I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I'll probably screw that one
up
too.

I just downloaded the trial version. One of the default install options
is
to create a dos recovery disc. Is this necessary? I am using windows 7 32
bit.
