A couple people requested a summary of what I found. Basically, almost
everyone who makes CD-ROM copies of their data makes two copies. Others who
said they only make one have remarked that they thought two was a good idea.
A couple keep one CD in their lab, and when someone asks for archived data,
they copy the requested data onto a ZIP disk or something like that.
Anyway, the consensus is that two copies are advisable, and since the media
is inexpensive, it is worthwhile and inexpensive to do.
Again, thank you for your many responses to a relatively simple question.
