What are the disadvantages of CD-Rs and CD-RWs?

Drives cost $100 to $250, blank 680 MB CD-Rs cost 50 cents to $1 each.

How long does it take you to back up each time . . . actual time?
Is the 680 MB limitation on CD-Rs ever an obstacle (i.e. files larger than 680 MB)?
Do you have more than 680 MB of data to back up?
- Do you have to use multiple CD-Rs?
- How much time does that take you?
What quality of CD-Rs do you use (are they less than 50 cents or nearly $1)?
More disadvantages of CD-RW drives.
