Why Optical

Optical discs have a higher long-term reliability than other types of data storage devices. And with long-term archival options, optical media can have lifetimes of hundreds of years. With better backwards compatibility than tape, flash, or cloud storage, data stored on optical media can be accessed for many years to come. |
With data security being a bigger concern than ever, storing important information on physical media lets you take control of your data. Some optical discs are read-only, meaning once data is written, it cannot be altered, further protecting your data |
Optical media remains the most affordable form of storage with an extremely low cost per MB. |
Backup v. Archive
The difference between backing-up your data and archiving your data is subtle, but important. Backing-up data is usually done on a daily or weekly basis, to account for any edits or additions you have made. Archiving is a more permanent solution – ideally, you archive data a few times a year and it remains safe for years to come.
Optical media is the ideal media for archiving. It is durable enough to last for years and takes up less physical storage space. The random access file retrieval makes finding data faster and easier. And with better backwards compatibility, data stored on optical media can be accessed for many years to come.
