Supported backup devices

You can use the following devices to back up your files:

• Back up to an external hard disk: You can use an external hard disk (A removable hard disk that connects to your computer and uses a USB or an IEEE 1394 ("FireWire") connection.) to back up a single computer. Or, you can use it as a central backup device (The backup files are stored on a central device that all computers in a OneCare circle can use.) for all the computers in your OneCare circle (A small network of computers that share the same Windows Live OneCare subscription.) . To use an external hard disk drive as a central backup device, the drive must have a storage capacity of at least 25 gigabytes (GB).

• Back up to a disc burner: To use this kind of backup device, you need a disc burner (A disc drive that writes or records information in addition to reading it (such as a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R or DVD-RW drive).) and blank writeable (A disc to which data can be copied. Recordable discs (CD-R, DVD-R) allow data to be written only once. Rewriteable discs (CD-RW, DVD-RW) can be erased and used again.) discs.
