Backing up my computer to a Blu-ray Disc?

Thread needs solution

I was just wondering if I can clone my C: Drive but instead of storing it on a solid state drive, if I could store it on a Blu-ray Disc?

 

And if the answer to that is no, could I make an image of my C: Drive and store it on an optical disc like a DVD or Blu-ray?

Cloning no. Backup image yes. If it doesn't fit on one DVD/BluRay disk then it will be come more complicated to perform a restore becuse of the disk swapping required. Most folks here prefer to make backup images and store them on an external hard drive.

357mag,

If you do perform a backup to bluray disks, be aware that there are removable media options on the "Advanced" tab.  See picture below. I would recommend including ATI on the first disk.

But as Tom K says, external hard drives are much better.
