How to make a system backup f Vista Ultimate

Hi all,
anyone ever did a systembackup of Vista Ultimate on a set of DVD ?
I tried DVD- and DVD+ but none works
When Vista accesses the DVD, it tries to format the DVD ... and then it
hangs
Backup on external disk however works fine.
I have Laptop Asus G2P
Thanks in advance for any help

Kind regards

I'm assuming you use Windows Vista Backup for the job?

You may want to give Acronis TrueImage a try. Easy to use and highly configurable. My favourite feature is the ability to mount backup images as virtual drives so that data can be recovered without having to do a complete restore.

The external drive is recommended over the DVDs, I do my backup to a Lacie
300 GB and its just so smooth. With DVDs its hassle and you can easily lose.
I have 43 GBs of data/system backed through Complete PC Backup its smooth
going.
