Only to a very limited extent (set by how much you can get on a single
DVD). The NTBackup cannot write there direct, but needs an auxiliary
packet writing system (eg Direct CD; InCD; DLA) to allow use of a DVD as
output medium from a program. And then NTBackup will not see the result
as removable, but as it it were another fixed hard drive.
It is strictly tape oriented, I think included for the benefit of people
bringing things forward from NT
