Sadly, Clonezilla does not yet support burning directly to (or restoring
from) multiple DVD's. You seem to be well aware of that in the backup
part of your plan. As I recall, to restore you would have to copy all
those images from the DVD's to a single collection on a hard drive,
network share or flash drive, then aim Clonezilla at that collection
during the restore.

Yeah, I figured as much. I am looking into using clonezilla to create
compressed images, then burning those to DVDs.
I really appreciate everyone who has responded. I have read all of
your replies, and am cosidering all of your inputs.
At this point I have, like I said before, shrunk C down to 226Gb, but
I think it'll go down a lot more. I would rather let W*dows shrink
itself rather than just smacking it down with Gparted. But, all
options are still open.
Well, here goes ...

I regard the Windows imaging tool as broken for the purpose of
burning to DVD. I think it worked in early versions of Windows 7,
but then they broke it in a later version. By the time they
included the Win 7 tool in Win 8 (!!), DVD support was clearly
broken, or I forget, not even presented as an option.
But it should work fine if you save the image to a hard drive, a
network share, or a *large* USB flash drive.
Or use something other than the native Windows tool if you want to
burn to DVD's.

That's what I intend to do once I get the DVDs created. I was
having trouble with the Windows backup tool writing to my
external ASUS DVD-RW USB drive. It seemed to write data to disc
1, and then it would tell me to insert another disc larger than
1GB as Disc 1 again. I'll have to retry that tomorrow. Not sure
what's going on there. I was using 4.7GB DVD-R discs. I just
can't express how much I dislike *dows. There were no messages
that Disc 1 was complete, or anything similar.
