Just because the wheel turned around as the backup was being done doesn't necessarily mean that everything was written correctly. CDs have a fair amount of error detection and correction included in the writing process. There is a limit to how much error can be corrected.

You might be lucky ... if you're going to lose something, it's best for it to be in a "Temp" direcctory.
