cd dvd burner

I have an Inspiron 660. Does that come with software for burning DVDs for the purposes of backing up info?

I have Windows Media player & Real Player. Neither one seem to allow me to burn documents to disc.

thank you,

Henry

Hi Henry,

You can create complete system backup from Dell DataSafe Local Backup.

Please refer to Dell Article 266282 which will help you create the recovery disk:

Hi Henry,

As DELL-Manshu S says, Dell provides the DataSafe utility to create recovery discs, which allow you to restore the system image without the operating system installation process. You can also pay for an upgrade to the DataSafe program that can perform more advanced backup tasks. However, many Rockstars recommend Acronis True Image, which can do whole system backup, daily data file backup, and has some emergency recovery tools as well. And it costs about the same as DataSafe.
