New system, you probably have a DVD Burner, buy any DVD-R's or DVD+R's you
can find, not much difference between the 2 formats, each disc holds 4.7
gigs of data. Go for cheap, most discs don't vary too much in quality.

You didn't really specify if you needed software, so I'll assume you just
want to know what "CDs" to buy.

I use double layer DVD-R (might be DVD+R) because they hold up to 8.5GB.
Since I do full backups every month, they only need to last a month.
