Why is it a bad idea to use CDROMS as storage media?

Hello Mr Tuchler,
- at this time I have been having trouble reading CDs because of crumpled Labels
. . . maybe labels, and damage to the reflective surface on the label-side are a negative factor ?
I've only used those stick on labels for music CDs and have never seen one "crumple". Those CDs are usually stored in my car, where they're exposed to temperature extremes. For computer use, I always use a permanent marker directly on the CD surface. However, any back up media can fail, so it's best to have multiple generations available. Incidentally, I'm old enough to remember bored computer operators, on the night shift, backing up to a stack of open reel tapes. The tapes were then sent via courier to off site storage. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
