I use DVDs to backup video edits. Video can get pretty large, and the costs of backing the stuff up onto hard drives would be insane (It's not unusual to have 25-30gig per running hour with multiple cameras, graphics, overlays, and preview files). $25 to store a project (assume 4 projects onto a 120gig drive at $100) or 6 dvds at 50 cents a piece... not hard to make the choice. I would prefer to put them on tape, but cheap tape drives fail and good tape drives are shockingly expensive.

Afternoon all!
Big time thunder and lightening here last night...along with an inch or so of rain. Enough that I had to open the pool drain for a bit this morning...lol. Now, sunny and will hit 80 degrees before the day is done...I love Florida...lol. Ouch...that sucks Swedguy. Good advice on the external hd as a backup. I run mirrored raid drives, but also use Norton Ghost to save a backup image of everything including the o/s twice a day to an external usb hd. Was pretty cheap to set up too  |
