yes it will work, but it needs to be a DVD RW disk, a DVDR will not work, as the backup needs to write markers and then delete them all the time.
What you need to do is setup a removable backup to disk folder and point it to the DVD drive.
The only bad points about a DVD is that it will be slower than tape, holds less data, and they can easily be scratched, thus the chance of data loss compared to tape is high.
