    Back up to DVD - ROM

    ROM = Read Only Memory (after its burned) no virus can get in

    ROM = Read Only Memory. You can't write to it. Period. So you just plain
    *can't* back up to it...

    Back up to DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, CD-R, or CD-RW. Or a USB
    external hard drive. Or tape, even.

    Ah, but you forget... you can write to DVD-ROM at least once, otherwise
    there would be nothing there worth reading.

    No, *you* forget. DVD-ROMs are printed (actually stamped and plated) at the
    factory.

    Please recall that in the context of this thread, "writing" means writing
    data from a computer onto an optical disk which is in a drive on a computer
    (or attached to one)...

    Print your name, write your name... you're right, I can't believe I couldn't
    tell difference.
