>From what I've read, DVD-R is more reliable over time due to the layering... the data is on a layer near the center of the disc rather than on the top surface as it is on a CD-R. Also, those I know who use this for long-term backups seal them in plastic with one of those silica gel packets (DO NOT EAT) and then refrigerate them. (Sealed in plastic with one of those plastic-bag melt sealers, for a good seal, or ziplock for more convenience with less paranoia.)
Also the manufacturer matters, more for CD than for DVD, but still matters. I just wish Kodak still made their "archival quality" CD-R's with the extra scratch protection layer. --Drew Van Zandt _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
