Comment on As you are doing it you never realize
How? It is pretty sensitive. Why not tapes?
Well, most media is sensitive to one thing or another. I chose discs mostly because of convenience and cost per byte. I also believe I can control temperature and make copies often enough to last.
If you are doing long term storage (5+ years) i’m pretty sure that tapes win on costs
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll have a look at tape again and see where I end up.
