Re: [Digital BW] CD/DVD failure?

2011-02-09 by ann clancy

I have had both fail over time.  Also, since i keep 4 backup copies and external harddrives are so much cheaper these days and faster , I have stopped using them.
 
Best practices calls for the 1-2-3 rule. three copies , two different types of media and one off site. I do keep a copy off site but no longer on a cd/dvd.

Has anyone actually experienced this? It seems to me that once the backup is burned without error, there are far fewer problems than the pundits have led us to believe. No one, on another forum, can report any failures at all regardless of the age of the media.
