DVD for RunRev?

[A.C.T.]

Moin,


> i thought tape was the worst.

Tape is the best tested, longest lasting backup media currently 
available. There is not enough experience available about how long DVDR 
will keep their data, although enough users already have already 
reported problems with "cheap DVD media" (whatever that is). It is a 
proven fact that CDR do not last longer than a couple of years - they 
work well for music (since there is an error recovery algorhythm for 
that), but data is a problem and long-term backup strategies always will 
copy CDR to tape at some point in time.

If you want to store your data SAFE, CDR or DVDR surely are the second 
worst choice, HDs being the worst. If you want comfort, the line is 
reversed.
