The -R would be one use and that's it. If you had -RW, it's erasable many hundreds of times. And a great way to test your skills.

New to and learning this software. I have made a compilation of folders that I wish to used as hard drive Backup data. It is saved as "DVD Folders Backup" image to be used now and in making future backups. Now what do I do?
(1) Since this will be DVD media, do I use DVD-R or DVD-RW media and can the media be used over and over?
(2) Is formatting required of the DVD-RW media and is there a method of "not closing" the DVD-R so it can be used over again?
Hope the questions are not juvenile. I only need help in pointing the right direction as to media and how to use it. This looks promising for backup of data that I cannot afford to loose.
Thanks for your help!
