No, creating data CDs or DVDs does NOT add anything to the lineage. Data discs have error correcting and checking built into them that forces files to be identical before the can be extracted. Audio CDs do not, and as such making one or extracting can cause an error, but the user will never know this has occured.

So, go ahead and burn your data discs. Double-check the checksums after you get them off the CDs, and as long as they are identical, your lineage remains the same.
