Well, you could use a command chain dd | gzip | tar to split the output 
for several DVDs including a prompt for the next medium.

BTW: If you want to save data only, you shouldn't use tar for ntfs 
partitions because tar doesn't know about the ntfs permissions which 
different from the Unix permissions.
