Have tried to backup on cd-rw. so that i can use them at a later date.The backup programs will not let me access the information.

You cant access the files with your backup program but can you access them normally? If you can access them normally have you tried to compress them with a zip or rar program(winzip / winrar), then try to burn them on the disc? Or copy them to a usb drive and try to burn them on disc from another computer? Maybe you can try another program to backup with, here is a free one you might give a try http://www.freebyte.com/fbbackup/
What program are you using to backup your pics? I have used nero, adaptec, sonic, and others and the easiest way to do that was to make a data disc since it was just a backup. If your files are not corrupt or encrypted there really shouldn't be a problem, data is just data when it comes to a backup.

Don't use a backup to do it. Open Nero or Easy CD Creator and copy them to a cd or dvd.

This way they are usable right off the cd.
