-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
years ago I did use DVD's for backups. However, I used DVD RAMs which you can use like a HDD. There are 2 problems with this: 1) it is SLOW 2) you run into problems if you need more than 1 DVD - From a technical viewpoint you can solve (2) with some autochanger scripts like: - show message that DVD is full - eject it - wait for a new DVD - then continue Well, unless you are in charge of the backup you will never get other people to reliably change DVD's. Once you need 4-5 DVD's you are busy with checking DVD for most of the day. The solution was to get a 1 TB USB drive (for bit more than 100 USD).
