I recommend you refer to the free online version of http://www.iasa-web.org/tc04/audio-preservation "IASA-TC04, 2nd Edition: Guidelines on the Production and Preservation of Digital Audio Objects, March 2009" which (chapter 6.1.2 and chapter 8) advises against optical discs for long-term storage. Instead (chapter 6.3) it advocates keeping multiple copies of each digital file spread across hard disc drives (HDD) with regular file integrity checks. HDD are cheap and individually unreliable yet a system of mirrored drives is very reliable if managed properly. This solution is widely adopted in professional archives includin= g the one where I work, the British Library sound archive. Richard Ranft, London |
