It makes an image which you can write (store) on an external disk, on DVDs or in a seperate partition.

You return to the state as the system was when you burnt the image. That is a lot better than factory state (unless your system is defunct) because you do not have to deal with a lot of updates. Last time I did a reinstall (Vista), I had to deal with 300 updates. Took 3 days that orgie. A recovery from an image takes 30 minutes. And you do not have to reinstall any programs or redo any of your tweaks and settings.

it can be multiple disc right? Example: disc 1 of 3, disc 2 of 3, disc 3 of 3

As I said, Ideally you image to an external disk drive. But you can also image to DVDs. Look at the size of your data on C and then take appr. 55% of that. That will be the appr. size of the image. Now figure 4.7GB per DVD. Then you can calculate the #of DVDs.
Example: My Windows7 image is 9.45GBs. That would fit on 2 DVDs. But I have no user data on the OS partition because I have a seperate Data Partition. Your OS partition may be bigger and you may need more than 2 DVDs.
