Really? I went looking for prices for CD-R discs, and saw deals like "5 CDs for 8 bucks" and "100 CDs for 75 bucks". Thats a lot more than 20 cents a disc, even in bulk.

And it is always the case that when you buy cheap and in bulk about 10% of them nevef seem to work!

Really? I have never had that happen to me before...

It is true that cheap CD-R(W)s give a lot of trouble, but I'm using cheap CD-Rs ($0.68) as well, and they don't give me any trouble. I can even use them for audio!

BTW Yes, I do have a CD-Rewriter, but I don't use it for backups, except for large files that I want to keep (movies, mp3s).

if you have such big site and do not backup, you should stop and thinking/reading about developing things for computers. if you have such an incident again, then you should give up and look for less dangerous work.
