Re: [opensuse] Suggestions for backup software?

CD's or DVD's are not suited well for long term storage
Wasn't that tested some years ago on TOM's H.G. ???
Much decay after five years afair.

Magneto storage, like tapes or a number of external HD's is the best
sollution.

any kind of backup support *must* be copied at least every 4 years on new support.

I am just (right now) backing my svcd/dvd from 2004 to a hard drive (and it's a nighmare, nothing can copy exactly a vcd!).

Remember, 4 years ago? I had *no* dvd writer, what was the HDD size? 40Go?? at what price?

in a year or two, I will have to backup all this on bluray :-)

don't forget new support are much bigger than old. I can make room for all my video collection on only one 2.5" 160Gb drive

of course, I *don't trash* the cd's!!

my first audio cd (goldber variations by Glen gould) is still alive a pleasant to listen :-)))
