I've bought few DVD+RW cds for backing up my data and stuff before i leave on vacation now i just wondered, what's the avarage lifetime of DVD+RW cd, i mean how many times can i write and re-write on one disc (burn and re-burn)? is it limited or not?

dunno but at least it won't work if its surface is covered with scratches

Afaik you can rewrite them endlessly. As long as you store your cd's in a dark place where you have no sunlight they will last about... 3 to 5 years? You'll be way better off with a external harddisk for example.

In theory: Unlimited times
Practically: Around 999 times
