to a CD-R disk
What is the CD burning software you are using? CD-R discs are Write once media by default. Unless the first time you burned it you chose to make a multi-session disc in the burning software program. CD-RW discs can be written to more then once as long as you do not Finalize the CD.
Instead of using a CD-R you should use a USB Flash drive, or better yet a USB HDD.

Textures (assume some kind of graphic file) collected "over the years" may be larger than what a 800 Mbyte CD-R can hold. How much (in bytes) data is there in total? You might have to span over multiple CDs, or use DVD(s).

Reread your post. If the CD-R was written to once, and the session was ended "permanently" (there's a special word for this I forget), you can't write to that CD again.

Why CD? One scratch and all that data could be gone forever.
