Best option for backing up data?

[Sheepeeshaun]

Ok, so my hard drive is getting full (such a pain) and I'm looking into buying a DVD drive for backup purposes.

I'll be using (bulk bought (spindles of 50)) writable media only.

So the question I have is: What is the best type of media (DVD wise) to use that is most cost effective (per Gb of storage)?

DVD-R
DVD+R
DVD DL

Or any other type of DVD media?

I know that DL has the extra Gb but price wise I'm not sure of it.
+R and -R half half the storage of DL but it may be cheaper...

Any help appreciated...

Well the HD I have at the moment is a 120Gb one, and windows loves to complain about it being low on space...

So thats the main reason for getting some DVD disks to move the data offa my hdd and onto storable disks.
