Over the past 5 years I'm using removable media in fact it's normal disk
plugged into a usb adpater which support 2'5 and 3'5
disk. I've a pata version and now a sata.
You're right on the reliable facts. My process include a double format with
ext3 (for the moment) with check bad sectors.
After that at minimal there's a read test on the media twice a years.
For archival process, I'm in the way of constant migration (that's would said
I'm migrating the data from media to other media)
cd or dvd if written at high-speed have tendancy to become unreadable or loose
some bits of data after 5 to 10 years.
So my backups/archival data are moving (started long time ago with TR-4 travan
tapes to dds 3 & 4, to disks)
To my opinion (and my volume of data for an overall +- 4TB ) disks are the most
simple/cheaper pro GB : there's no need to have
another mechanical systems to get my data. I have to observe when I need to
move from one tech to another ( pata -> sata for
example )
It take less place in the safe at the bank.
Oh there's another point, I always keep the data on a second drive ( different
manuf. ) at another location too.
The choice of technology are very subject to change. I know that some of bacula
users have to use library due to the volume of
data they need to save. But if you firstly thing about DVD I don't thing you
have such needs ;-)
