    Fixed media include local and network drives.
    Removable media include data CDs, DVDs, Iomega Zip disks, and USB Flash drives.
  • When using removable media, specify a maximum size for the archive that is no greater than the capacity of the media. A typical writable CD can store up to 650 MB of data. DVDs can store up to 4.7 GB on a single-sided DVD, and 8.5 GB on a double-sided DVD.
