[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 679858, member: 3850"] My experiences with writeable dual-layer DVDs have always been a bit flakey... None of the three Macbooks we have like to read them (they often spit them out again the first few tries), so I usually end up reading them in my external DVD drive, which reads them fine. My advice: If you want a backup, create a disk image of your DVD and if you ever need to reinstall Leopard from your backup "disk", just clone the image onto an external harddrive and install it from there. That's what we do at work with OS X developer seeds and it's also a lot quicker than installing from the DVD! [/QUOTE]
