Automated system recovery backup is huge

Hi everybody,
I just created a "Automated system recovery backup" on a windows server
2003,
as I read documents about "Automated system recovery backup" is not include
data it's
just system information, but everything in my hard disk is about 50G and
"Automated system recovery backup"
is about 5oG too, how is it possible? Am I doing something wrong?
Is there any way to backup "Automated system recovery backup" in one or more
CD or DVD
as a failure happen,
Thanks in advance - Sasan

It seems that ASR saves all data on the system disk.

Firestreamer-DVD allows Windows Backup to write directly to DVD, see

Cheers
