computer backup

I have Dell Studio 17 laptop.  It says that I have to backup to recordable dvds.  Why can't I backup to removal external hard drive?

Hi, Cullaroj:

I assume by "it", you are referring to your backup software. Can you tell me what you are using by way of software to back up your files?

I have a studio xps 1640 and use Ghost as my backup program. I backup to an external hard drive. I see no reason that you can not do the same. Given this is an option with your backup software.

Meggie:

This sounds like an issue with Ghost. Perhaps you should check with the Symantec support site. Our forum primarily deals with hard drive and CD/DVD issues.
