Anyone know of any studies or tests of DVD and flash memory backup. I keep my vital stuff on two hard drives of which one does not run all the time. Trouble with DVD is you can't add new stuff. There are rewritable DVDs but don't you need a special optical drive and does Toast always get it right.
I have added files to DVDs, but I think there are limitations.

External hard drives are inexpensive and allow you to have a redundant copy. I also use DropBox Pro to save off Jpg and Png files. I had an external hard drive fail and sent it off to a recovery center. I was disappointed in the price and told them to stick it. They called me back and we reached an agreement for the recovery price (after the fact). I am more careful now regarding a redundant system. Good luck.

I recently had an external hard drive die and of course it had a zillion pictures on it, from way back in 1999, Any suggestions on how to retrieve these pictures, or who to contact about retrieval. Most of them are on Shutterfly but not all.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks for all the responses. Looks like I am going to have to pay a pretty penny to have this recovered or just live with what I managed to get to shutterfly.
definitely will learn to back up the pictures.
