  1. What everyone else said.... =)


  2. Yes, you will not have to keep feeding it blanks DVDs.  It would just run straight through to the end.

  3. To an external HD, it takes less time to backup because you do not need to burn the file while backing up the system.


  4. An external hard drive has faster access and writing abilities.  It's much faster than DVD's.

  5. Hard drive by a mile.
