Unable to span WinXP Backup over more than 1 DVD

Trying to get WinXP Pro. Backup software to burn to DVD
for full system backup, this fails with DVD full when DVD
is full, then Backup aborts, does not request another DVD.
 
XP's built in burning software and backup program are
limited. Try a third party back-up program.

Or backup selected portions to each DVD, you can probably
fit all of My Documents on one DVD, you can certainly fit
C:\Windows on one DVD, you could just manually select the
files and copy them to your media as standard format files.
This has the advantage that you can view them to be sure
they are really good back-ups. The back-up file might not
really be useable.
