The term “CD-R” refers to a CD that allows you to record files. Originally CDs were only recordable by companies with major resources, whereas now anyone with a CD-R drive can do it.Writing files to a CD has a large number of benefits for businesses of all sizes. These benefits include-Easy Transfer It’s easy to transfer files from one computer to another using a CD-R. It’s especially useful to use CDs in this manner when the files that you need to transfer are too large for email attachments. The portability of a CD-R also means that it won’t be cumbersome to move the CD from one location to another the way it might be with a portable hard drive, for example.

-Backups

It’s also very useful to use CD-Rs in a backup capacity. In the course of running a business, it’s often essential to make sure that certain files, often in the form of records, are backed up properly. In the past, this often took the form of actual physical paper files. But now, it makes a lot more sense to have electronic versions, especially since the amount of data that one CD can hold can be equal to an entire filing cabinet full of paper.

This is actually useful enough that many businesses have taken to digitizing their files by having someone scan them all into a computer, and then writing them onto CD-Rs. That way you can store an entire room full of paper files in just a small stack of CD media for use whenever you need them.

-Cheap

CDs will end up costing much less than all of the paper and fixtures for metal filing cabinets as well. You can buy CD-Rs in bulk which also helps save you and your business money.
