what do you have to back up on a new computer ,anyway, either will work ,and you don't need to use dvd-rw's as dvd -r or +r will work also .
just incase you don't know rw means that the dvd is rewritable ,meaning you can reuse them ,
dvd-r or +r are write once only .
are you just backing up files or creating a win7 system restore disk

I would like to back up the whole system, plus a restore disk..how do I do that and how many disks do you think I will need?
