Question about CD-Rs

[huey1124]

After burning CD-Rs with data on it, is it safe to put them back on the spindle stacked on top of each other? Blank CDs come on a spindle, and I'm assuming they're safe since it's tightly packed to begin with. What I intend to do was burning the CDs, labeling the tops with a marker, and putting them back on spindles to save some space, since those CD wallets take up too much space for the amount they can hold. Do you think it's okay? I'm trying to back up a large amount of data off of a computer. Thanks in advance.

I think that would be fine for long term storage purposes.

thanks amdskip for your answer. are you pretty sure with your answer though? i don't want to ruin any of this data because i stored it wrong in any way. does anyone else think it's safe? thanks.

I have a friend of mine that uses CDs like no one's business. He's got spindles and spindles of Cds. No problems. It's perfectly safe.
