I have a DVD player/burner. Had to upgrade because my older DVD/CD+R/-R could not read DVD-R, I bought I tutorial for my work and it was very useful to me.

I bought a spindle of disks to do my backups with, though I do have a backup drive, but nothing is perfect, better to do a backup of my backup drive, no telling that it couldn't fail as well.

Thought I'd also restore some old videos of when my kids were little. Haven't gotten a round to it yet.
