can i create a disk image back up on a dvd from my acronis rescue media cd?
If I use the acronis rescue media bootable cd to create a drive image can I do so onto a cd/dvd media and make this bootable too
IF I can please list the main steps here
If not, can I create a drive image (with the bootable acronis rescue media cd) onto the hard drive in dvd sized parts and later burn these parets to dvds and make the first of these bootable? How?
Thanks for any help on these questions

Your approach of writing the backup is DVD sized part could work as you burn the backup files to DVD using other software, but you won't be able to make the first one bootable.
I cannot answer the question about writing a bakcup to DVD using the recovery CD, as I never ever do a backup on a DVD.
DVD writing is way too prone to errors by itself, and ATI is confusing when writing a backup across multiple DVDs.
So I am writing this post to recommend that you do not create a DVD based backup. If you want to create a recovery set, you are better off buying a USB flash drive and storing the bootable backup on there (I know USB flash drive are comparatively expensive).
The most reliable backup procedure is to backup to a USB disk and to recover with the recovery CD.
