My original CDR from the tree are all palying and verifying perfectly.

3 factors are determining the longevity of the CDR:

1.Quality of the media itself.  There was some crappy stuff out there. Choosing and investing in a good brandname will pay down the road.
2.Burn-in speed, ideally 2x or 4x.
3.Storage. Avoid extreme conditions.

As suggested, backup is always a safe bet.

Cheers
