    Backing storage is used to store programs and data when a computer is not in use or turned off. Common types of backing storage media include magnetic tapes, floppy disks, and hard disks, with magnetic tape available in reels or cartridges for creating backup copies and only allowing sequential access to data. CD-ROMs can hold much more data than floppy disks but cannot be changed once written, while rewritable discs allow burning data using dedicated CD drives.
