D_back

D_back is a backup utility that uses whatever compression utility you have installed to collect files into an archive then copy them to DVD (Digital Video Disc). You can also elect to do no compression. I use my own BackupToZip for the compression part since it works incrementally and understands deletions. XP, W2003, Vista, W2008, W7-32, W7-64, W8-32, W8-64, W2012, W10-32 and W10-64 It costs

Advantages

The feature of D_back that most impresses me is that you can trigger a backup from the command line by passing it a XML (extensible Markup Language) configuration file that fully describes what you want to do.
It politely summarises exactly what it plans to do before you give the go-ahead.
It lets you do dry runs to see what files your filters will include.

Disadvantages

It is a little on the geeky side, not the most user friendly. It simply aborts if you forget to insert a blank DVD before running it.
When you run the trial, there appears to me no way to make it go without purchasing first. Click the big image on the left. It then rudely launches your browser.
It does not do any of the things you might expect of DVD burning software such as copying DVD s, creating ISO-images, burning ISO-images, creating audio CDs…
