I have run into this issue previously with CDs. I haven’t done much with DVDs as of yet so I haven’t seen this. So watch what you burn and make sure you have other backup options.
My preferred backup option is Windows Home Server. It backs up my desktop and my laptop. I then have important files backed up from the Home Server to an off site location. How are you doing backups? Have you checked your CDs and DVDs to see if they’re still good?
Your important photos and files are all backed up on CDs and DVDs, so you’re safe. Right?
