Quick ques about putting an image onto a dvd

I was wondering, ive made an image of a computer game that I can mount from my hard disk and play. I dont want to burn the game to a dvd, just the image, that way, if my hdd ever crashes, or the disc is damaged , i can still put the image itself back onto the hard disk, mount it and play as I used to? Is that possible?

Create a rar (or zip or 7-zip) archive, and burn the archive as data disc. You can restore the image on a virtual drive when necessary

No need for compressing if the image fits on a regular dvd is there???
