Whilst I applaud the sentiment of a RO backup, optical disks - particularly the cheap ones commonly available to the average user - are prone to fading too.

You are fortunate that a 1995 CD backup is still viable as I have encountered azo dye-based CDR/DVDRs which are unreadable or showing errors after only 5-6 years.
