I just run across a DOS Backup program called Image on the web. Has any one used it?

It was just released on August 29th, 2008 and has a free trial version but cost $29.99 if you want to buy it. Creating an image file is one thing that would be good for using true dos for major bbs and wg1/2/3 dos, but are there any dos programs to copy the image (or other files) to a cd or dvd-rom? Or are there any good free backup programs for dos?

i think this program writes it to CD/DVD and makes it bootable so you can restore simply by booting from CD.

Norton actually released a program back in the day that did some backup thing as well, i remember seeing its DEMO when i was looking for a way to backup my 2 dos servers, one with majorbbs 6.25 and the other running synchronet and a fidonet remote access server under desqview.

i did manage to find one to do my backups but by the time i had gotten around to it i had updated to windows 95 and wg3
