Yes, I use them for regular data backups for documents. It's only about
300Mb, but with a RW in there I can just save 'em all in case of disaster.
Some would say my prose IS a disaster, but...
Also, I find them lasting longer. This is purely my own limited

hogwash, but I don't consider CDRs an archive, just a handy storage for
scans. Film is the archive.
