Re: [Digital BW] CD/DVD failure?

2011-02-09 by Patrick Carr

Yes I have. I started getting unreadable CDs from another photographer 
in town--they were five to six years old. He had hundreds of these 
backup disks and when he checked, many of those were unreadable as well. 
He had difficulty explaining the loss to his clients.

I suggest hard drives. I have four backup drives in my studio and each 
backs up to another every hour. Has been working well for several years.
