This is not particularly to do with Word but the answer to both your
questions is probably not but you should be aware (and maybe you are, I
can't tell exactly from your post) that it is not good practice to work with
Word Documents on removable media - they should be copied to the hard drive
first.

I would like to backup, "My Documents" on a daily basis to a External USB
Hard Drive.

Will there be a problem when restoring any of the backups to my 'Internal
HD' when
I attempt to either, 'Open" or "change" the documents that have been
restored due
to a failure of the internal HD?

Secondly, should I decide to backup to a DVD vice the External USB HD will
there
be any problems as mentioned above?

Many thanks for reading and hopefully replying.
