Have you seen this article ?

Hay: In ComputerWorld mag there is an article about save backups on CD's. The gist is that its not a good idea for long term storage. i.e. more than about 2 years. I did not know this. Guess its a good thing Sun has a tape storage solution..... Here is the article link. http://computerworld.com/hardwaretopics/storage/story/0,10801,107607,00.html I had always assumed that they where making some kind of mark on a metal foil inside of the plastic. Guess thats what I get for assuming. I wonder what the storage life is if you keep the CD in a dark cool place. Jan 18 2006, 04:00:00 PM PST Permalink
