The "Microsoft Backup" accessory that ships with Win98/98se doesn't support backup to CD/DVD disks. I imagine that there are many freeware/shareware utilities around, as well as modestly priced retail programs, that would do.

Disks are so cheap now, I just use Nero and use a stored set of folders. Quick and easy. I have an old version of Nero . . . it might be that the newer Nero suites, which come with everything & the kitchen sink, might have a backup utility included. Same might be true of Roxio. Hunt around in your Roxio help files, they might have one hidden away in a menu somewhere. And the price is right (free- if you already own it!).
