Just a small suggestion to others who "do" backup on CD, like myself. I often leave my photofiles on my computer for 6 months or even a year sometimes, and I try to do a backup every month or two. When I do I often am backing up files I have already saved on another CD, this way they are duplicated more then once. That way if a file or CD does go corrupt I have an extra copy or two. Once I have two or three copies of those files I feel pretty secure in deleting any files I don't think I'm going to use for awhile. My best work may have several more copies since I often leave them on the computer a lot longer then the "so-so" stuff.
I lost some important stuff in a crash a few years ago, so I guess I've gotten a little anal about backing up these days!!!! LOL :P
