I have seen advice on listservs not to back up to a CD ROM.  I never
understood why.  Why is it a bad idea to use CDROMS as storage media?

AIUI, it relates to designed life of the media.  For most CDs/DVDs it
is pretty short (a year or two I think. And the glue from the back of
the label will eat away your data.  Don't use them.)

That should be long enough for you (rated 100 to 300 years).

FYI: I was curious about the cost. $122 for 100-pack at
