Backing up OEM Vista onto Disc

Hello,

I have a new(er) Gateway PC [GT5656] with Vista Home Premium (OEM) with SP1
just installed. I would like to know how to copy the OS to DVD for backup.
When I purchased it the retailer said it could be done by them for $$. Is
there a way I can do it myself?

Thanks,

dblplanker

Re: Backing up OEM Vista onto Disc

There are any number of "image backup" programs that can back up your entire
system to CD/DVD/external drive/network drive/whatever. Google for "image
backup" and you should start getting some ideas.
