Backing up ARC files on CD

[Scanner-geek]

I want to back up my software files on CD in case of catastrophic computer failure (I'm a bit worried about the April Fool's Day worm). If I lost all my scanner files I would fall on my sword.

Any tips on what kind of CD to use and ball park how many I'll need (roughly 150 sytstems saved)? Thanks in advance. Obviously I am not a computer genius. I am a scanner genius though.

Would appreciate any tips on how to do this most efficiently. I use ARC PRO for the 396 and 996.

3 floppys aught to do it. Each saved file is 64kb. However, if the files are copied to a CD rather then burned, you can add to a CD for years.
