The point here is that you seem to be using BluRay as backup. Or you were. It's not good for that. No optical solution is. The idea of BluRay is archival. Something to use once your project is done and delivered. You don't WANT to be going back to them. They are there for reference only. Used in the correct context, as short term archival media, I feel BluRay is an excellent choice at this time. But they make exceptionally poor backups.

Hi Perrone,
I agree with you that BR still being a good solution for environments "wider" than mine. I wish I could manage a double-format workflow for back-up/archiving, but: - I archive almost 100% of what I shoot. - I'm a "one-man-band". I have to simplify. With HDs, I can back-up and pre-archive on the field. Back home, I clean and organize the stuff, clone the HD, and erase the CF and SxS cards. Even this simple system give me headaches :-) rafael |

Once its on bluray and the disk is verified, I scrub the project off my drives and prepare for the next project. I've had people come to me 6 months, a year, or 2 years later, ask me about an old project. If they want to see it, I can go to the bluray, copy off the compressed version I put on there and give that to them on a CD. It would take me 15 minutes to do that if the material were stored on a HD. It might take me 30-45 minutes to do the same off BluRay. The hard drive would cost me many times what the cost of a bluray would.
