## Steps##
1. Insert a blank DVD into your laptop's DVD Writer.
2. Open up your DVD burning package. Any software will do.
3. Select Data DVD as your disc type, a window will appear.
4. Drag all your important files (pictures, documents, presentations, emails etc.) onto the disc until it is full. You may need more than one disc to fit all your files on.
5 Insert a suitable title like Backup 1/1/2010 and then press burn.
6. Repeat these steps again using another disc until all the files you want have been backed up.
7. Label the discs and store them somewhere safe.
## Tips ##
1. You may wish to make copies of your disc(s) and distribute them in different places (ie. shed, friend's house etc.) so that if you have a house fire you will still have your files.
2. If your laptop doesn't have a Disk drive then you could use a USB Flash drive and simply drag and drop your files onto that.
3. Don't buy the cheapest discs you can find. The 30 for £1 offer won't sound so great when your disc(s) are broken when you need them.
4. Back up at least once a month.
##Warnings##
1. Store your disc(s) away from where your laptop is stored. If your laptop is destroyed in a flood or house fire your disc(s) will probably be destroyed as well.
2. Backup at least once a month to ensure all your latest files are included on your disc.
