It matters because I'm cheap and lazy.
I don't like spending an extra $1.50 per Verbatim DL and I don't like having to take the time to backup the disc again.
That being said, have any of you guys had any backups that stopped working for you due to scratches?
Any disk can stop working if it is scratched enough. Don't complain if you wreck your $1.50 back-up, it is better than wrecking your $70 original disk.
