[P1] What happened?

[Jack Rodgers]

The usual procedure is to backup first before running a disk utility. 
Then if the utility messes up, you can revert to your backup.

There's no real problem in backing up to a CD other than today's 
gigadrives need a lot of CD's to quench their thirst and burning a CD 
takes a lot of time compared to backing up to an external hard drive.

It takes roughly 2 CD's per gigabyte of drive so a 40 Gig hard drive 
will take 80 CDs giver or take a few...

Since you are backing up to CD you might plan your backups in smaller 
chunks.
