i use imation or verbatim, sometimes sony to backup IMPORTANT data since yung mga generic cds maninipis. try mo itapat sa ilalim ng flourescent na ilaw, see through (halos transparent na) siya unlike the branded ones na transluscent to opaque.

bago ako bumili scratch ko muna ung label para siguradong matibay. ung iba kasi lalo na pag generic madaling matanggal ung label siyempre kasama na don ung nilalagyan ng data.
ewan ko lang ha. sa mga cd kasi tingin ko kahit generic lang basta maalaga ka tatatagal naman siya e. basta lang walang gasgas. may ps1 game ako dito na pirated. sobrang pagkapirated niya e ung pinaka label niya e sticker lang unlike sa iba na naka print. 8 years na siya at hanggang ngayon nababasa pa rin.

Basta use branded ones for critical data. Generics are fine for music and mp3s. And do make sure that your writer is up to it.

Any CDs that are branded will be fine as long as it would be free from scratches or cracks. CDs are generally can hold data for about 25 years. They are safe from any magnetic materials unlike ordinary tape catridges. Just when writing to a disk be sure to verify from the application that the files written are the same from the files read.
and generally, people associate the quality of CDs with that of CD-Rs and CR-RWs - which is misleading.
generic CD-R / RWs generally will only last upto 20 months.
branded ones will last for around 5 years or more.
as a general rule, those for long-term storage should be checked once in a while for data corruption.

Generally, branded cds and generics have the same format and use but with different quality in terms of lamination and tendancy to warp in slight change of weather conditions. Any CDRs are ok to store files as long as you store them in a well kept place.
Suggestion of recording for Generic CDs:
1. Write the data at speeds not more than 4x - to keep the data stable.
2. Have a cd cover for it.
3. Do not hold the cd in a flat position or you will damage the data surface of the cd because it lacks a protective coating.
4. If the cd is dirty, don't even try to clean it or you will loose your data.
5. Have at least extra backup cd. Write 2 generic cds just to make sure.
6. Do not store in hot surface or under the sun.
Hope this helps.

my suggestion is get an iomega cd's. ok yun, or in event na hindi available hanap ka nang makapal ang coating not necessarily branded. kasi sa cd ang dapat iniingatan e yung ibabaw hindi yung ilalim. oki? :D

Ian_rex is right. You have to handle the label(top)
surface delicately but it is still prudent to handle the cd on both sides just to be sure. The bottom part of the cd is important as the top surface.
