Absolutely so. I keep two copies on different hard drives, one on CD and one on DVD. Writing the CDs gets to be a bit of a chore but I think they are rather a better moderate term storage bet than the DVD. I use very much cheaper boxes than the Light Impressions ones, probably less archival, but I suspect the difference isn't going to be to great. I used to rely on a Raid 5 system rather than 2 separate hard drives, but really it is easier to use two separate copies. I'd never rely on a single hard drive, as I've had several fail in the past. It would be nice to keep one of these off-site, but it isn't convenient for me. But then I don't bother with off-site copies of my negatives either:-) Peter Peter Marshall - Photographer, Writer: NUJ petermarshall@... +44 (0)1784 456474 _________________________________________________________________ >Re:PHOTO http://re-photo.co.uk My London Diary http://mylondondiary.co.uk/ London's Industrial Heritage: http://petermarshallphotos.co.uk/ The Buildings of London etc: http://londonphotographs.co.uk/ and elsewhere...... john dean wrote: > http://www.lightimpressionsdirect.com/servlet/OnlineShopping?DSP=50000&PCR=30000:400000:450000&IID=20817 > > The ideal thing is to make two cds or dvds and also put it on an > external hard drive.
