A lot of you back up to DVD's... why DVD's rather than CD's? Do they fit more? Or are they more stable?

Dvd's fit FAR more on them than CD's. But both can become corrupt over time, so I always mention that you should pop in your DVD's from time to time to make sure they are still good. Again, don't keep anything solely on a DVD.
I stick to EHD's. It takes a LOT of DVD's hold the same amount of information even a small EHD can hold. Yes, EHD's can and will fail, but I'll take that over a buttload of DVD's any day of the week.

I'd love to know what DVD's you're using Jessica, lol. I never get more than 4GB on a DVD, lol. Maybe you're using double sided?

Really mine might be 4 as well then. I always thought they were around 7 LOL. Id check but my dvd drive has not opened in like 2 months LOL. I push the button and the light comes on and I can hear the whirring inside like its trying to open but then it just stops. I was just guessing from what I could remember the last time I burned a DVD.
ETA: I looked it up and DVD's are 4.7 gigabytes. Double layer are 8.5 gigabytes. CD's are 700 megabytes. bluays hold 25 gigabytes.

Fit more yes, work better with files. More stable, not nessacarly. Its another way to back up. I have heard bad things about online places.
ETA, mine too are 4.7 I just get a round stack of them and keep them in the stack labeled.
