silly question of the day? - back-up DVDs

ceridwen

As a computer 'baby' - I know this is a daft question to those more knowledgeable - but..... I've been very good ...I am doing back-ups when my pc tells me to (on unused DVD-RWs that I have for my DVD recorder). I'm now onto my 3rd one - and, if I am going to do this monthly then I will land up with all these unwanted used DVDs from previous back-ups. Can I re-use them - as in put them in my (fussy - as in "princess and the pea" Sony DVD recorder) and clean off data from them same as I do for tv programmes I previously recorded - and then go on and use them as normal (for tv recording on one hand - or re-use for future back-ups on pc on t'other hand).

If they're RWs (ReWriteable) then yes. If they're Rs (Recordable) you can only write once.

Should be able to.

RW meaning "rewritable"...
