Anybody have any opinions on the MAM-A Archive Gold CDR & DVD? I have zero faith in the "archival" capabilities of ANY field- writable optical discs. Doesn't matter what brand name or fancy part numbers they use. If you want to use CDR or DVDR for long-term storage, re- write them every couple of years or forget it. No serious backup is done on optical discs. It is virtually all done on digital magnetic tape. |

Interesting article he http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/37073/113/ $50K per year just for power (not to mention hardware maintenance & replacement) is hardly competitive with passive magnetic tape. It also seems like a non-starter in an era where they are banning incandescent lighting. |

But the $50K is IN ADDITION to the cost of security and enviromental controls. (Which are orders of magnitude less for tapes sitting in a cave). |
