DVD Archiving

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

Greetings!

I work technical support for the University of Kentucky Department of
Communication. We are looking for a DVD-R archiving solution for
roughly 10 Terabytes of information. We're envisioning a unit similar
to a DVD Duplicator, but instead of duplicating the same DVD 50 times,
we'd like to automatically create 50 unique DVDs to backup our
information. We want to be able to load 50 DVD's into the unit and
have it automatically archive the information with minimum user
intervention. Unfortunately, I have not been able to locate a unit
that will do this.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
Keith

Why use DVD's? DVDs although cheap per meg, is going to require maximum
user intervention!! Who's going to be the guy keeping track of all
those millions of DVD's that your going to generate.

You should be thinking of DLT tape diver servers.
