Re: Very OT: Archival storage of backup CDs/DVDs

I have made the decision that hard drives have become so inexpensive that for backup...just 
buy a drive...and turn it off and set it aside.  Cheap , faster...and unless I am mistaken...just 
as archival.  I bought a 500 gig recently in California for 75 bucks...cheap enough to set on 
the shelf as backup solution.

I would love to hear others comments on if there is a problem with my solution...it sure is 
quicker than burning to disk...painless really.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
