CD-RW is not recommended for backing up your files. As you've found, a disk written on a CD-RW drive may not be readable on a different drive. Use a CD-R disk instead. You can write multiple times to a CD-R, you just can't overwrite or change what's already on there.

Now and again messages appear on the list about backing up to a CD, but makes no reference to burning the CD. I have backed up before now to a RW Disk, only to find when I have changed my CD reader for whatever the reason the CD's from previous backups whether they are Legacy or not, the new reader cannot read the files. I don't know if this would apply to a jaz reader or a USB memory stick. If you agree with my comments perhaps you can post a message of warning to the list.
