Well guys
Thanks for your input, please note that I have been doing some research and concluded the following:

I've heard good things about Acronis TrueImage

I have too but Acronis and Ghost are aimed at the same market area, i.e. small to medium sized offices or sophisticated networked homes, and so are far too "full-featured" for my basic needs. And, quite frankly, too much to learn about to get to what I actually want to do, which is to create (and restore from) DVD backup images.
LOTR, you said:

I'd have thought an external HDD would be the way to go to store such backup rather than DVD's.

I have tried this before, when I had Norton Ghost v14.0, and felt that it was a bit pointless, I ended up deleting the backups and using the space for other data. Also, externals have a habit of failing (I am now staring at my partially dead Lacie 250GB and the space left by my Gericom 400GB).
So you see, I am not keen on using externals.
I will continue looking for other software solutions.
