I can recommend you to buy Acronis True Image 10.0. It will allow you to backup your entire PC or separated files and program settings. True Image will allow you to store your images on DVDs or another devices. It has a scheduler that will backup your data as often as you want. I think True Image is the fastest and effective backup software for now. \nlearn more about True Image here: http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/

You can use http://www.dvd-cloner.com or http://www.download-it-free.com/dvdshrink/\n\nThey are both good tools, but I have the registration code for the cloner.

Use the freeware version of DVD-Rebuilder, and DVDFab Decrypter. If you're going to be backing up a lot of DVD's then I strongly suggest that you invest in the Pro version of DVD-Rebuilder. It IS the BEST way to backup your DVDs. Another good investment would be AnyDVD.

I use Nero.  If you're backing up 3 PC's, create three folders first and put the PC's folder in them.  For example, PC1 folder would have a "Documents and Setting" folder, same for PC2 and PC3.

If you just want to back up your DVD collection it's fine to use cloning software which produce very good back ups of your DVD's. But is illegal to copy and sell them.\nTry the link below which is the software i use for my own use.You can download a trial version to try.\nGood luck and stay legal.

get RipIt4Me\nhere\nhttp://www.ripit4me.org/\n\nRipIt4Me is a freeware utility that helps you backup your copy protected DVDs.\n\nRecently released DVDs are now very often equipped with stronger copy protections - such as ARccOS™ and RipGuard DVD. Programs like DVD Shrink or DVD Decrypter cannot handle these types of discs.\n\nWith the help of RipIt4Me, ripping these DVDs will be a very easy task. The program is fully automated and the wizard will guide you through all the necessary steps involved. If you prefer, there is also a true "1-Click" mode that will perform all the involved steps automatically for you.\n\nunlike AnyDVD, it's free.

The easiest way is to use a software called CloneDVD. The program lets u copy the entire dvd at once with one click also has the options of changing DVD-9 Format to DVD-5 (which is ur dvd-or+r). To solve the problem of regions and other stuff use a software from the same company called AnyDVD. Demo version are also available to use. The site address is below.\n\nPS: This information is given to u to use for the dvds that you own, I m no undre any condition responsible for what you do with the copied dvds.

You can use a program called Alcohol 120% which you can find on sites like download.com. It allows you to take CD/DVD backups by taking a complete image of the disk and then writes it to another disk. \n\nI have included a link to download.com where you can download Alcohol 120%

Hi, You can do all you want with Video files, By having a suitable software, I personally recommend Nero 7 or Power Producer by Cyberlink.\nAnd for disk space, you can copy all the files you want to relocate as DATA on a -R or +R DVD, I don't like to use RW as its durability is still questionable. and you can open if needed as a individual file
