1. If it's already a .txt file, that's fine. Any bit that happens to change onoly effects one character. Other file types have a more complex structure, so damage can be greater.
2. Any burning software (even the one that comes with Windows XP and higher) is fine to burn data.
3a. Remember that burned CD's have a lifetime of five years or so, depending on the storage conditions. I would make more than one copy.
3b. Why not store a copy in the cloud. Dropbox, Google Docs, OneDrive, gmail.com, live.com. All are free and the companies that offer them.take care of backup. Burning to cd is a thing of the past, more or less.
