Hardisk vs DVD (for backup).

+ DVD recordable is "forever".
- Harddisks can be overwritten.

If you believe your arguments, then I have to say that you deserve what you
choose.

Good luck - I think you'll need it.

Where are your arguments ?

Good luck finding them - I think you'll need it.



Bye,
Skybuck.

Tell ya what: I'll present arguments as you did, namely in the form of
unsupported pronouncements.

Here's my set of pronouncements: Your pronouncements are mostly
incorrect or irrelevant.

One example:
"+ DVD protected from dust thanks to jewelcase.
- Harddisk chips and such have no protection, might get rusty or eaten
by bactery/acid etc."

That's all I will say.

I have multiple backups so even if you managed to penetrate my
defenses, I could easily recover.

LOL

Lol,

and what did you use for those multiple backup's ? hmmmmm ?

Bye,
Skybuck.

Well I got all the nice verbatim disks...

But the supplier and sony ****ed me a little bit.. by giving me first of
all:

25 in a cake instead of 50... but they are still together 200 discs...

However sony was stupid enough to place SCOCCER pictures on the DVD's ?!?!?!

What the **** ?!?!?!

I HATE STUPID SCOCCER pictures...

I am not like a stupid little kid which likes Scoccer

I may act like a stupid little kid.

But I don't like scoccer that much.

I DONT COLLECT STUPID SCOCCER PICTURES.

God damn it !

Oh well.. maybe someday I'll get rich of stupid sony scoccers pictures.. but
probably not me... it would take milleniums before that shit gets worth
anything.. at least I hope so

Oh well..

I think I am gonna use a new archiving system:

I am simply going to write big fat numbers on the DVD's and simply maintain
a list on the pc what's on those DVD's...

Because the markers are to FAT to write everything on the DVD...

Now I kinda wish I ordered DVD"s with light scribe but then again... I am
not sure how long my DVD drive takes to make light scribe stuff...

Maybe it would be fast or maybe slowed.. but for titles maybe it could be
fast ? I have never tried so far...

Seems like a drag too... Having to make those labels... if it was fully
automated maybe it would be good...

But I am not going to make a picture for every fricking DVD ? Bleh.. waste
of time.. ???

I might as well keep a simple text file.. with all the stuff on it

Sigh.

Or maybe I will still write some stuff on it.. not sure though.

Fortunately only 50 procent has soccer shit on it.. the rest is ok.

Now I also have to go find a nice DVD case to fit all the loose DVD's in..
or maybe I should just keep it in the cakes.

Maybe I'll also replace all other cd's in a cd special closest/box or
whatever...

Even those thin Jewel cases still eat lot's of space space space space
space.

Those cakes boxes are very space efficient.

Well, I haven't burned anything yet... probably won't for a while since I
first wanna do other things before I start buring and backing up stuff...

There is no rush anyway.. because current Vista probably sux... and maybe a
better consumer Vista will be out starting in 2007...

and even then there is plenty of time..

I shall be honest:

I do like Windows XP Pro 64 bit... contrary to my other rants on usenet...

I just don't like the Windows XP Pro 64 bit bootttime sometimes... because
sometimes it takes fricking long which is ****ing nasty.

Also 32 bit internet explorer works ok... but 64 bit internet explorer is
missing flash... it does have it's benefits.. less commercial shit...
but instead pop-up ding-dong-bleep-bleep-bleep.. is that fricking bleep
really necesaary ?

BLEEP.

Skybuck.

OK, I said I wouldn't post any more in this thread, so let's expect the
unexpected.

To some extent I've been wondering if you were actually serious about
your posts, given the things you were saying. For your sake, I had
hoped that you were trolling for humor.

I still don't know for sure

OK, back to expecting the expected...

 

[Citizen Bob]

and what did you use for those multiple backup's ? hmmmmm ?

Clones on hard disks in removable bays. Differential backups to a
separate resident hard disk.

Well I am pretty sure you just trolling.

Your lack of arguments is very very very convincing to me * >D
