How would you back up files if they are on a cd. I don't use my computer files so I can save my memory. Thanks for any advice.

Make another CD (actually CD's can be damaged, accidentally broken, scratched, lost) - or invest in an external disc drive - or a removable USB disc. Wal-Mart carries the latter for a very reasonable cost.

yes, CD especially exposed to sun etc will be damaged faster. i will copy the data of this CD into another CD and also buy a portable hard disk to paste the data in.

I would make another copy of the CD or copy the CD onto a compact flash.

CDs don't have a long shelf life, so I'd buy an external drive and store your files on there. That form of media retrieves info a lot quicker too. :-)
