This is worthwhile research. Photos are very valuable and as the administrator of a small network I can assure you, you cannot put enough emphasis on backup using more than one method. I keep my digital photos on my harddrive at work and on my harddrive at home. I have seen cdr discs have separation of the laminates. At work I use a tape backup and also at home. Another useful tool is Acronis disc imager. You can then backup the entire image of your harddrive to tape or cdr if it will fit or too another disk drive. I like to image my C drive to my D drive and vice versa. If one drive fails I can recover from the other. The acronis disk image is about $45.
(while not worth much, your family photos are real treasures which is mostly what my digital photography is and would be if only Nikon could fix my little camera) -----Original Message----- From: Cameron Hood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 29, 2003 11:52 AM To: Pentax Pentax Subject: Archival CD-R's Don't know if this is hokum, but Fuji is a pretty reliable company... http://www.fujifilm.ca/CorporateInfo/DisplayNewsroomArticle.asp?

You should register, and you get a nice quarterly magazine as well. Don't know if it's 'only in Canada'.
