CD Vierge And Other Backup Media
When choosing backup media you want to consider the following three things:
(1) the size of the media (how many files it can hold)
(2) the portability of the media (i.e. CD and DVD vs. external hard drive)
(3) and the durability of the media (what will happen if the media is dropped)
Here are three types of backup media:
(1) tape
Tapes will allow a backup of a large amount of files and this is the method which is most often used for businesses, even though it takes much longer to copy the files than other backup media.
(2) cd vierge
Backup on CD disks can offer a practical solution for data storage and a CD will store your files for years as their vulnerability to wear and tear are very low.
(3) dvd vierge
A DVD can hold between 4.7 GB and 9.4 GB and even more if the files are compressed. This makes a DVD both a feasible and practical media to backup your important files.
