Just found some software called Roxio Creator and used for first time and seems to be the pre-installed solution.A retired senior partner, in own agency, with 40 years experience in property sales & new build. In latter part of career specialising in commercial - mostly business sales.0

Is this what you're after:

As the use of Roxio would suggest you wish to do something entirely different and Backup a Movie DVD.
If it's a movie dvd then use dvdshrink: www.dvdshrink.org which is I'm sure easier than using Roxio.

Not sure if I am using the right term - back up.

Ah in that case it sounds like a 'personal data backup', just peculiar how it's chosen to involve Roxio, as from the above how to suggestion it suggests that vista would invoke its own version of a dvd burner, just like my own version of xp pro can burn disks, but the funcionality itself isn't exactly forthcoming when you go looking for it, but if you stick a writeable disk into the burner, it pops up asking if you want to open a writeable folder into which you can point any folder then simple press the 'Burn' button and you're done.
Anyway, one way or another it looks like you're sorted so it's all good as the saying goes
