Windows XP Backup does not have the capability to span multiple CDs
(record from one to another) during a backup operation. When using
Windows XP Backup, the total size of the backup file must not exceed
the formatted capacity of the CD (approximately 533MB). If you need to
backup an entire drive or a system volume exceeding 533 MB, you need
to use a third party backup and restore program designed to span the file
over multiple CDs.

You'll need a third-party CD Recording program, such as Nero,
in order to record and span the backup file to multiple CDs.

If you don't have a DVD burner, this might be a good
time to consider getting one. They are cheap enough.
I back up to an external hard drive. An 80G drive is
under $100. It's small enough to pick up and carry
but easier to get to the backup files then messing with
CDs/DVDs.
