The digital versatile disc or
DVD has many utilities. Apart from storing movie and audio files, these discs can be used to store data.
DVD+R is the record able disk. This means you can write your data on it. You may feel that your computer has adequate space to store data. Remember, the computer is only a machine and no matter how efficient, it can crash at any time. This would most likely destroy all of the data stored in it. Given this scenario, it is always better to make a back-up of the data. The best way to do this is to store it on the
DVD+R. This is a recordable disc on which data can be written only once. Once written, the data becomes permanent and the disk cannot be used again for recording.
