recommendation to backup a Win2k partition to DVD

[Helmut Jarausch <jarausch@igpm.rwth-aachen.de>]

Hi,

sorry this is probably off topic. Although my favourite OS is Linux,
I do need Windows from time to time.
Can anybody recommend a (preferably free) backup solution of a
Windows partition directly to DVD ?
Since I use a dual boot system I can do the backup either from
Win2000 or from Linux since I've have configured my Windows to
use FAT-partitions only.
In the past, I've made the experience that just backuping up all
files (like tar + (cdrecord/growisofs)) doesn't suffice.
Probably some files are location dependent.

Many thank for your comment on this,
