It does.  I use it on a server with about 22GB of data, and it is
capable of making a bare-bones backup to create bootable media that will
easily do a full usable restore to a blank drive

My approach is to have mondo do the backup to .iso files on a different
server. Then burn the DVDs when the backup is complete.

I burn a full backup monthly to DVD, and a differential backup weekly to
CD.  Seems to fit my needs well for that system.

It does handle DVD along with tape, files, CDs, and more.
