The Options

Choose burn data CD/DVD. If you wish to create a disc that you can add to later on choose "multi-session disc." If you wish to add to a CD or DVD which you started burning already choose "Append Session". If you wish to create a finalized disc choose "no multi-session." The most reliable way to back up data is a finalized, NON-multi-session disc.
