CD's are no way to handle that much data (e.g. 1 terabyte == ~1800 CDs) especially if you care about the data at all. I bet it will be a nightmare to catalog, maintain and recatalog this mess over the long run. Since you need to read them all anyway to catalog them (hopefully you have a jukebox), if at all possible, I'd suggest you buy a few capacity disk drives or a small disk-tape HSM system and keep the data there where users can get to it directly, without intervention. If your company has backup system that allows archiving (e.g. Tivoli), that may be another solution. FWIW, it is also much easier to make backup copies of data once it is on disk/tape. Another poor man's "solution": move the data to DVDs and catalog those instead.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
