Blu-rays are a viable backup medium for long-term storage
No bdrot?
I mean, you should always check your backups and make 2 for good measure, but supposedly some of these newer ones are made for archival and claim between 10-100 years. Never trust such claims without verification but if true could be the best thing for archival besides punching bits in stone.
heck yeah! my buddies were making fun of me for trying to get an old BD rom to play nice with proxmox, and i have a stack of old bdr's from 10 years ago lol
Sounds like those old bdr's should be checked and possibly rearchived ๐. I think the Blu-ray M-Discs are the ones that claim the longevity.
