Hello all,

This may not be the right group, but it appears close.  If it's the wrong
group, please redirect me?

I am looking for the appropriate DVD-Rx recording rechnology to allow me to
do two things:

1. Back up large chunks of data
2. Read those discs on s standard DVD-ROM drive

I don't need DVD-player support.  This isn't for video.  I'm simply trying
to use it as a very big cdrw.  To that end:

1. Should I be getting DVD-RW or DVD+RW
2. Can either of these be read by a standard DVD-Rom
3. Any recommendations for software.  Nero claims to do it.
4. I'll be running on Windows 2000.  SCSI external +RW seems to be rare, any
thoughts about firewire?


Many thanks.
