You can get errors because a dvd doesn't have enough room for large backups. You really need an external hard drive to back up properly. Today's hard drives are just too big to use cd's or dvd's. Buy an external hard drive that connects via USB. They are fairly inexpensive and work well. You can use the dvd's for just copying your personal files to dvd, but skip Windows Backup until you have the external drive.
On my new Dell Inspiron 560 MT with Windows 7,I've tried to perform Windows Backup using Maxwell DVD+R discs[16x speed]-with the 1st disc the backup process 'stuck' at 47% and with 2nd disc it 'stuck' at 33%. One disc can record 120 min video 4.7GB data. Can anyone help me what I ought to do? Can the DVD+R discs compatible or useable? :emotion-42:
