Digital BW, The Print

Lew ,
I read your first post (backing up on line) and let it go even though I have opinions on it...not this one.. Constructively, for anyone to say that they haven't had any CD /DVD issues means .. They haven't really checked,  they haven't been doing it long enough or they don't have enough of them..... no offense to anyone.. First CD's  and DVD's aren't all created equally. Second the hardware is changing specs all the time..  We had a rude awakening here and it cost us dearly.. So yup you can back up data on them but will it still be there in 10 years.. You'll loose a % of it and that's what happens.. It's a cheap way out for a back up but it's not intended for mission critical backups.. The media is devoid of any forms of guarantees .. So it's your risk..

  Subject: [Digital BW] CD/DVD failure?


    
  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.
