How to back up computer files to a DVD
Make an offline DVD backup of your PC files with cdBurner — free, in your browser, using the drive in your own PC. Your files are written locally and never uploaded.
Step by step
Connect the burn agent
Open onlinecdburner.com. The first time, install the tiny one-time helper so the page can reach your drive — after that it just works.
Insert a blank disc and pick your drive
Put a blank disc in your writer and select it. cdBurner shows the disc type and free space.
Add the files you want to protect
Click Files or Folder and choose the files you want to protect. A live gauge shows whether it fits.
Set options and burn
Pick a write speed, keep Finalize on for maximum compatibility, then click Burn disc.
Why cdBurner is different
cdBurner reinvents disc burning: a clean web app that drives the optical drive on your own machine. Nothing else works this way.
- 100% free — no trial, no watermark, no nag screens.
- Private — files are written locally and never uploaded to a server.
- No bloatware — one small signed helper, not a heavy install.
- Built on Windows' native IMAPI2 engine, so your discs read everywhere.
