Question about archiving.
« on: March 18, 2007, 11:27:02 PM »
I was curious about how people archive their recordings. I just burn the tracked wav files and the original whole recording on dvd-r's.

Do most people archive in wav or flac? I understand people trade in flac, but do you archive your own recording in flac or wav?

thanks.

I typically archive FLAC to cdr or dvdr.  I keep mine in the paper envelopes with the clear windows on front.  Store them in a closet.  I also have an external drive with all of my masters as well.

Master recording is wav and then my final edit version is flac w/ txt and ffp. I use DVDR's to burn the files onto usually and I store into a plastic file folder that has color coded CDR pockets in my closet.

I do the same, burn FLAC filesets to cdr's or dvd-r's and store them in binders.  I'm pretty paranoid of media failure, so I'll pull a random show from the binders every week or so and make sure everything is complete and not corrupted.  I also take full advantage of the Live Music Archive and friend's remote servers for off-site backup of recordings.

Until I can get a RAID system with some massive storage space, the above works quite well for me.

I store my archive as FLAC and SHNs on CDRs on spindles in my closet.  I have well over 50 spindles labels by band and year or genre.  I've recently started storing on DVDRs, but I think CDRs is still the way to go.  If you scratch a CDR, you lose less info than if you scratch a DVDR.  Of course, that means more burning and space, etc. but if I want to save it, its worth it...  Soon, I want to get a SlimDevices so I'll have to get an external HD storage device for most of my archive...

Exactly same as I do.

Pretty much the same as the posts above - a DVD with the untracked/unedited original wav file, the tracked out FLACs, plus an audio CDR copy and the FLACs are also stored on an external HD. When I was running 24 bit I had FLACs of the 24 and 16 bit files as well as a DVD-A for super redundancy.
