Helpful info wanted, please.

    Some people I support are thinking of using writeable CD-ROMs as
 their principal back-up medium.  There's a lot to be said for this in
 theory, for archives and whole-disk backups.  Has anyone any
 experience?  I'm particularly interested in the reliability and
 readability of the disks written; also the MTBF of the CD-writers
 themselves.  (I fancy that, once they have a writer, they are likely to
 use it for creating disks which transfer pre-configured copies of their
 software to other computers; so interchangeability is a major matter.)

                                        Chris K.
