CD-RW

A CD-RW (Compact Disk Re-Writable) is a Rewritable CD that can have data burned onto it. The difference between a CD-R and a CD-RW is that a CD-RW can be written on countless times, it cannot however be overwritten and needs to be erased first. Due to their nature CD-RW are not the best way of backing up data so it would be better to use a CD-R.
