Back up music and photos to DVD?

[jonesnewton]

Hi, I have previously done a back up to DVD-R, but now I have bought DVD-RW, so I can re-use!
I suppose this is the best way to do a back up of stuff??
I have used Roxio before, but I have to use retreive to re install it, but now I have Nero, which I feel is better?
Music is WMA / MP3 and photos are JPEG.

Any ideas??

Thanks
Neil.

Maybe it's me, but I thought I explained what I was asking??
Any ideas about any different methods of doing this back up.
Or just stick to doing it this way??

Thanks

Stick in the dvd-rw, load up **insert program here** click on data disk, copy over the files you want backing up and click burn

I'd put a small partiton assuming you only have one hard drive and use that for quick backups. Its faster then using the RW method.

IMO, Nero is a superior product

Any ideas??

Just burn it as a multisession dataDVD

Agreed but the benifit of DVDs is that they are portable and sharable
