[ccp4bb] long term data backup

2009-03-11 Thread David Aragao
Dear All, I wonder how people currently do their long term backups. I see DATs/DLTs being slowly dropped off at the beamlines and most people brings their data home in external HDs. Anyone using blue-ray or double layer DVDs for long term backups? If so what kind of hardware? Do you use HDs
