You should use DLT tape backup.
If you're talking backups and archives, you won't get many images on a CD. I use an external hard drive for archiving. So cheap these days.
I'm just talking about after getting so many on the computer burning them on a disc for safekeeping and starting over again. I was wondering if the quality is compromised by using cd vs dvd discs.
It is not. Medium longevity differences may apply, but file integrity is the same. It's digital data, dude!Quote:

That's what I wondering as well as what bio-smear said above. Thanks all!Quote:
