  Hi all:

  I need to start backing up the data on my computer at home. Anyone know a good, inexpensive program that will help me back up to DVD+/-RW on a regular basis? Preferably something that will let me specify the folders that back up, then it will split the files as necessary to put them on however many DVDs.

  Thanks,
  Jeremy

    I dont backup anything unless its something real important, usually a text file or something which will easily fit on a pen drive or a DVD.... if its a movie or something then they go on their own DVD/CD. However there is really no need to do a ghost image...

    Jeremy,
    I really like Nero ( www.nero.com ) because of it's versatility. The program makes CDs/DVDs in data or music formats (along with others). In addition, it will do backups of your data. You have the ability to choose which data you backup and the frequency by which you do it. Hope that helps.
