I hve put a dvd in to back up my data, I hve checked and there is no data on the dvd, I hve even formatted the dvd to b on the safe side, selected the right drive, then click to backup, it will start to backup but then will stop and as for me to put in a dvd, cd or a usb device, I hope u can understand this

I think the DVD-R is dead. Try a new disk. Those DVD-R's can be used for certain times and then it stops working.

You killed the dvd-r disk when you formatted it!
Just put it in blank.
of course you need to be sure the drive you are using is actually a dvd burner and not just a reader or cd burner.
