I was using the 25GB disks , there is more capacity now. Afaik, you can get "archival" quality BD disks. I created a "file" of my home dir, then burned it to BD, Easy to store. Some notes left over : truncate --size=25GB /pub/bluray.udf mkudffs /pub/bluray.udf sudo mount -oloop,rw /pub/mybr.udf /mnt/bluray sudo chown pabi.pabi /mnt/bluray #growisofs -speed=6 -Z /dev/dvd=/pub/bluray.udf greg
