Inspired by Bree, I decided to try image backup to dvd.
I hadnt used the dvd method before, so it was an interesting experiment.
I am too lazy to dig out a physical dvdrom drive so I created it as iso files instead ( strictly speaking they are udf ).
They are much smaller than a regular system image. They contain files with .vhd extension, but It is not clear how MS have done this. Assuming they were joined, I am not sure the resultant single file could be mounted.
Seems to work fine
It asks to insert the final dvd
so mount the final iso
there it is mounted
clcik retry so it scans again
As expected it is ready to go
