Re: [Digital BW] Re: Very OT: Archival storage of backup CDs/DVDs

2007-12-18 by Kip Babington

I'm considering doing that once I run out of my current supply of gold 
CDs.  But now I can burn 2 disks, and put one in another house for added 
security.  That would be a lot less convenient than managing a pair of 
large disks, not to mention whatever risk there is in moving one of 
those disks from place to place.

Cheers,
Kip
