Topic: explain how you archive your shows

8 disks for each show you tape @24/96?!  You should look into Dual Layer discs dude.

The problem is 8 DVDs (single layer) are still cheaper than 4 Dual Layer DVDs. I have a Dual Layer recorder (2 of them), yet the media cost is still too high.

a 25-pack of Ridata DVD+R DL(the only ones that workj in my burner) are 50 bucks shipped thru meritline/etc

I can get 100 Verbatim(top of the line) for 36 bucks at sams club and ALOT easier/quicker/when I need to

I'm jealous of the TB array Mark what RAID do you ahve it setup on, if RAID is/was even used. im kind of new on this stuff, id love to still ahve a hrad copy but i feel ya, id rather have ALL tracked/flac'd stuff on HUGE HDD's

I'm probably a minority here but I back up all of my recording from my JB3 to DAT at 48/16.  I also keep a copy on CDR for listening purposes and trade out as many copies of my recording as possible on any format.

Thing is you still run out of room when you do multi-track. I have 1.2 TB on my external drives alone, but they are crammed full with all the multi-track stuff I do. At some point you still have to consider taking them off-line or you end up with a cabinet full of drives.

Whether you've got a cabinet full of drives or perhaps only two or three, you still need to be able to find what you're looking for. What is a good/easy way to catalog what is on each drive?  ie, I want to play a show on one of these drives in the cabinet, without putting  drives in the computer one by one, where the hell is it?

I use removable adhesive labels from office depot.  I write the artist and the time span of the material.  I don't bother to write each show on the outside.  If you reorganize your files, it's easy to remove and afix a new label.
