    although dvd/cd media are easily broken (including scratched), lost or stolen...it is true that once the media is burned...you've got a secure backup.

    granted none of the above happen.

    but, burning discs isn't pratical or efficient on a daily basis.

    nothing can beat a fast, raid nas (network attached storage) box for backups. especially if it is located offsite. that way, if the building burns down tonight you still have your data tomorrow.

    with osx/unix and linux you can just use rsync to back up everything across the network or wan.

    you could build your own nas for a few hundred bucks...or buy a stock box from someone.

    a lot better than wasting 100+ bucks on a burner and buying media every other week.
