Hi Kevin,
The only problem with this approach, is that you are putting all your eggs
in one basket. If that nice cheap hard disk fails, and they do, you'll lose
the whole darned lot. Whereas, if a single DVD gets corrupted, you'd only
lose a small amount of your backups. So I am with Simon here, in that you
are best to archive onto DVD. I wouldn't use DVD for regular backups, but
for what Simon wants to do, I think they are the best solution.
Simon, to answer your question, go to http://www.blankdiscshop.co.ukk.
All the best
Steve

Hi Simon.
Have you considered getting an external hard drive instead? Will almost
certainly be cheaper and may actually last longer than the DVD's.

hello list,
does anyone know of anywhere where I can purchase large quantities of blank
dvd disks, preferably the duel layer 8GB type at a reasonable price?
I am looking to purchase a minimum of 200 disks at a time, possibly more, as
I will be using them to make several backups of my audio/video archive,
which is well over 400GB at the moment.
would prefer to purchase them from with in the UK if possible.
thanks in advance for any help received.
