I want to be able to setup XP, install key programs and then backup this
whole configuration.
Then, if needed at a later stage, I want to wipe the hard disk and start
again exactly as the system was before.

I've heard of a few programs that do the above.
But... I haven't heard of any programs that use a DVD, and instead use a CD.
A typical system frshly setup, will be at least a few GB.

(And is there any recommended programs that I can use to reinstall
everything remotely? Or is this asking for too much?)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
