Use of Windows Backup Utility

I have an external 300 GB drive dedicated to storing backup data. I also
want to periodically clean up that external drive and save the backed up data
on CD/DVD media. I would like to automatically schedule the Backup utility
to do a normal weekly backup of all data, system info etc plus append
incremental backups of this data on a daily basis. Presumably to restore
files etc the backup utility will recognise the date batches on my external
drive. However once this data is no longer on the external drive (having
been cleaned up and "copied" onto CD/DVD media) does the Backup Utility still
recognise the data on CD/DVD media for restoration purposes?
