OK...  For the fun of it I dug up an old CD-RW disk that had a
compressed tar file on it with a photo archive.  If I recall correctly,
the disk was written on a Liteon drive that lasted less than 6 months in
my system of the time.  The CD was written in February of 2002 and was
stored in a box packed up in 2002 when I moved offices.  It hadn't see
the light of day until today.  Extracted the full archive without problem.

Of course this is only one file on one old CD-RW disk.  It doesn't prove
anything.  Just like...

...there is no evidence that you wouldn't have lost data even if the
archive size was smaller or uncompressed.
