Well if you are just looking to backup files like programs and word docs and such, u can use CDBurnerXP. Contrary to th name, it burns CDs and DVDs and does a nice job. It is free and I really like it. It is simple to use and IMO is better then roxio and other such things that cost $$

I've actually used the Acer eRestore and it worked alright for me, I used a DVD-R.
