    In the past I've used various blank CDs but unfortunately some of them have lost the data.

    I want to backup some files so could anyone recommend a good brand that will hold the info for decent amount of time.

    Thanks.:)

    A lot of the common brands (Maxell, Memorex, Philips etc) you see on the shelf are the same disk just repackaged with different branding, mostly produced by a company called Ritek (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritek).

    Verbatim are hands down the best quality available. Plenty of disc burning packages like Nero have a disc analysis application with will give show you in a quantifiable chart the disc quality, Verbatims vs pretty much any other brand are in a totally different league. Do a quick google search for Verbatim vs ...... and fill in the blank with any other brand and you'll see exactly what I mean. Hope thats of some help.

    Sorry, are you looking for DVD's or CD's?
    And yeah, Verbs rule, bought some Taiyo Yuden which come highly recommended and are spoken of as the industrie standard and found fingerprints and holesin the dye, but have never heard a bad thing about Verbs.
