My guide to using optical media for digital archiving applications in January 2024. In this video I cover different forms of optical storage including Blu Ray, M-Disc and archival CD and DVD products. We also look at the difference between backup and archive and what type of digital preservation projects optical media is best suited to.
Optical Media For Data Archiving - My Complete Guide (Jan 2024)
I thought it would be a good idea to try to consolidate everything that I've shared over the past couple of weeks about optical media into one video intended to share as much as I know about using optical media for data archiving at this point in time (Jan 2024 - more specifically the date I'm uploading this video).
In this video I cover reasons to use archival, different products across all common optical media types (CD, DVDs, Blu Rays, M-Discs). And some specific products that I'm using and can recommend.
