i noticed recently a dvd-r (8x white faced printable traxdata ritek go5 brand burned at 4x speed) had a weird looking cloudy dispersment on the data side.. it is no longer readable
i’m working on a migration plan to get the rest of my dvds onto hard disk drives.. optical media is bullshit .. noticed a few of my discs of 2 to 3 years old have lots more pie and pif in recent quality tests.
anyone any idea on how long verbatim 16x silvers burned at 4x generally last?

Just get to Velociraptor 300GB drives and config them in RAID1…
When you use RAID1, data writes to both drives equally, thus you have a live backup of the drive you are running your OP on. So if one fails, then it will be as if nothing has gone wrong since the second drive will run as your main drive.

I wonder if any of you have heard of a term called “disc rot” — something that I believe occurred mostly with older discs. May not be the case with newer ones. In any case, so long as the media lasts 10-20 years it should be perfectly fine. Because by then you’ll have to take all the crap off your discs and put them on new medias of the future.

Then backup all those backups and put half of them in a 3 foot thick steel box 1 mile under Antarctica wrapped in 300 feet of chains secured by 20 solid padlocks. Or is that going too far?

Assuming you man the raid setup for backing up a harddrive, it’s RAID1 where multiple drives all store exactly the same data.

Yes that would be the best solution, although it is expensive. A raid 1 setup with a couple of 500GB disks would be good for backups.
