One of the new benefits of a DVD Burner being included on almost every computer you purchase these days has to be the ability to back up large quantities of data on a single disposable disc. The DVD format is capable of holding 4.7GB of data, thats about 120 minutes of video. This is wonderful news for those who want to burn their personal videos to play on their home DVD players, but what if you want to use it to backup files and folders? 

Using the "multi-session" feature within your software, you can do incremental back-ups of your system data. By using this feature only the data the has changed gets re-written. This update feature is wonderful for saving time on large back-up operations. 

In this tutorial, I'll use the software that I provide on each of my custom built PC's to show you how to use a DVD-RW (a re-writable DVD) to back-up and store your files. If you do not own this software, a demo version is available online.
