| I have been trying to backup my system using ntbackup. I am an novice and I
would like some help with this. The problem is I would like to backup to
DVD.
Not just a partial backup but total. Can ntbackup do this for me or do I
need more software.

I do not believe NT backup will write straight to DVD.
Unless you're using a RW disc in packet mode (which can
be very flaky).
NTBackup is quite happy writing to external USB/firewire
drives or a 2nd hard drive, which is probably a better
solution. You could always burn those backup files to
DVD if you want a snapshot.
However, for true "total" backups (of the o/s and
programs) look at Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image
(?). Much easier to use and to restore from.
Also, you should have a separate system for backing up
your data files. Data changes a lot more often then
system configuration does. Why backup 20GB worth of
programs and operating system files when you could just
backup the 2GB worth of data?
