The 10 for $20 DL media were Verbatims and were supposedly available all last week at Best Buy, not just on BF. Too bad you missed it if that's one of your preferred media.
While I agree in principle with "get what you pay for" there are always exceptions, case in point being the free AV solutions. Of course, you conveniently ignored the entire concept of putting backups on re-usable rather than write-once media. Data Technician I must pay pretty well if you can afford to continue doing regular backups to DL DVDs :-) -----Original Message----- From: Windows Home/SOHO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marc Sims Sent: Monday, November 28, 2005 1:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Software: Backing full volumes with NG 10. I did not go to the Black Friday sale but I only buy the best quality DVD+R DL media that my money can buy me which are Maxell, Memorex or Verbatim. When it comes to making backups I choose and buy only the best which doesn't come cheap. In some cases buying cheap only makes the problems and costs to backing up data more expensive in terms of read and write errors, restoring and building data in man hours and time wasted in trying to backup and restore the data than it would if you brought a high quality product in the first place. You get what you pay for. ;) Marc Sims Data Technician I Prince George's Community College >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, November 23, 2005 >>> You spent 8 DL DVD's on a backup? Best price I've heard for DL DVD's is 10 for $20 (just this week) so you spent at least $16 of write-once media, and probably much more if you bought the DVD's before this week. For about $30 you could have bought an 80GB hard drive, spent less time backing up, and used it over and over again. With removeable rack/tray maybe $45 total. Hope you get find some cheap DL media at a Black Friday sale. Happy TG everyone.
