DVD vs. CD for archiving
blu666z:
What does everybody trust more as far as longevity of the media? Trying to decide if its worth my time to rearchive my SHNs onto DVD from CD.

working on SHN backups for now, no DVD burner here, slow ass shitty old computer that barely can handle a transfer... its easy, and for $.20 a disc or less, thats not bad to archive shns on, put them all on a spindle with a label, and you know what you have, and they are all there ready to go. peace.

I have been archiving on DVD. I'm not too concerned with longevitiy as I know I will eventually convert what I have on dvd to whatever is used in the future. From what I hear the next thing is a DVD that holds 10 X more data than the current ones. That would be almost 50 gigs on one disc. When that happens, ill migrate the collection to that media.
