My oldest negs look OK. Will the CD's be the same in 20 years? Dear Tim,
Maybe there is a way of looking at it. I suppose there are some relative long archive ways of sorting your work. I have a few here. With regards to cds I really don�t know the length of time they will last. I supose you could always get a dvd burner and burn larger amounts of stuff. Burn two copies and only ever access one if you need to. You could then get some external usb 2 hard drives 120gb or larger and buy one everytime it fills up and store that (though I don�t know what effect none use will have) So you have three copies of data, I suppose if you loose it then, then it was meant to be lost. My cd reader is on its way out and as I am pc I am thinking of getting another cd burner (only �40) so I have two and then can burn the data twice at one press of a mouse, so saving time. Just a thought anyway. I suppose if you are pc based and are into building you could have a motherboard with a raid and run up to 4 burners at once and make mutiple copies of the cd, I not quite sure if you can configure easy cd creator or nero to do that. Seems a relatively cheap way of making a secure data backup system.
