We are, as has been pointed out to Oldfashioned several times, but he persists on continuing to comment on consumer grade optical storage media, while everyone else is talking about professional ...

Thanks,  I'm still learning about all these things Graham

Your comments on consumer grade  CDs or DVDs may well be correct, but  is irrelevant, as that isn't what any of the rest of us are writing about. Even if it wasn't obvious from original post and ...

What is TRC ? Cheers, Graham

Optical discs was the term used when I was doing my research, but they meant archival quality discs as in the M-disc. As I already have an external HDs/NAS/Backblaze system in place, I don't think ...

I admit, that until a few weeks ago, I had little idea about the availability of archival quality optical discs, but I have been reviewing my back up strategy. Yes, I currently have files in four ...

It was the Verbatim version of these discs that I linked to earlier on in the thread, and it was this sort of support for optical discs from several different sources that prompted me posting. Graham

Could well be, I know that I used to judge everything against K25, and then got a shock when the vivid, brash and unrealistic colours from Velvia, that I didn't like, on direct comparison with the ...

The entire industry has not abandoned optical drives,  as I keep on saying, its "currently " a highly recommended approach to archiving digital assets. Just because its something you don't know ...

I assume that the "pleasing colours" whether Adobe or Phase are just considered quick and dirty starting point and that anyone looking for accurate colours will be using a more sophisticated ...

I  think, as has been discussed any backup strategy needs redundancy, and the optical drive approach would just seem to one of the options, which seems to be more secure and less demanding on ...

Yes I do, I believe that professional photographers should have a professional approach to backups. Graham

Ah, OK  I had assumed that the focus would be on accurate colour profiles and tools to ensure accurate reproduction rather than using "pleasing" profiles. Other than it being expensive I know ...

As I said in my earlier post, I have spent the last few weeks researching  modern approaches to archiving digital files. The lack of optical drives on computers is irrelevant, as you can still buy ...

How does Phase justify the  $6000 price, if its as simple as this? Yes, that was the point of my post, you said this was what Adobe do, and I was saying so does C1. Well, only if you assume C1 are ...

This also applies to C1 (except for the museum version of C1 I assume, but that's a bit of mystery), with C1 they do all the scientific measurements, but then tweak these to give "pleasing" rather ...

The link to the Verbatim Blu -ray  optical discs I linked to in an earlier post is claiming 1000 years. Unless you are willing to live with the regular maintenance needed for HD archives, Optical ...

As using disconnected hard drives as archival storage for files has been mentioned a few times, it may be worthwhile saying, for those who may not be aware, that this approach has some issues. The ...

I've have certainly found BackBlaze to be very good. And, like you, Chronosync is central to my local backup strategy. Cheers, Graham

That sounds like a reasonable excuse :-) Cheers, Graham
