- In Picasa, click on Tools and then on Back Up Pictures.

- At the bottom of the screen, you will have the option to create a new backup set.

- A set is a grouping of folders and/or albums, and could contain all your photos or just some.

- As you select which pictures you want to back up, Picasa calculates the size of the files and tells you how many CDs or DVDs you'll need.

- When you're ready, put the disc in the drive and click burn.

- When the backup is done, be sure to label it with the date and contents.
