It really depends on how much stuff you need to back up. CDs can usually hold 800 MB (megabytes) of storage. Standard DVDs can hold 4.7 GB (4812.8 MB) of storage. Dual/Double Layer DVDs can hold 8.5 GB, and some of the new Blu-ray discs can hold up to 25 GB of storage. To back up your computer, you need a CD Burner or DVD Burner. I would recommend investing about $40 in a good DVD Burner and then backing up your most important data using normal or dual/double layer DVDs. However, if you really want to spend a lot of money backing up your PC and making it easy, you can buy external hard drives for a couple of hundred bucks that will hold 500 GB and make it really simple for backing up your computer.

Does computer burn DVD or cds?

If you mean can a computer burn files onto DVDs or CDs the answer is yes they can but if your device does not come with a CD/DVD RW drive you will need a external CD/DVD RW drive which cost under $20.00 (US) or under £20 (UK). The cheapest I found was on Amazon (£16.99 (UK) $13.11 (US)If you mean does your computer set fire to your DVDs or CDs, no. Well, it shouldn't. If your computer does there is something wrong with it/
