I have seen advice on listservs not to back up to a CD ROM. I never understood why. Why is it a bad idea to use CDROMS as storage media?
Do you have a link? Such a statement without explanation is... well, confusing, as you yourself show.
A CD is too small nowdays, that could be a reason, but DVDs are more reasonable - still, you can imagine backing a 500 GB HD to... what, 100 DVDs?
Many years ago, I used to back up my hard drive to floppies! Lessee now 500 GB / 1.44 MB = over 330,000 floppies!!! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
