I also create a full disk backup so that I will be able to restore individual files or folders. It makes it also possible to move the data to another computer.If I have a hard disk crash I�ll use this emergency CD to boot from.You can find in Windows a basic backup utility which are installed during the installation.I should say for all Windows�,but in fact it is not included during the installation of Windows XP Home Edition.But, first I have to install and setup a new hard disk that is working.Then I can recreate the data directly back from this backup stored on the DVDs.Dr. Paul Weijenbergh, Chair of Ecma TC31 said: "We are happy that the estimated storage lifetime of all CD and all DVD discs can now be measured with the same equipment and one single standard.”
