I have 4 (relatively new!) 2Tb hard drives in an “Icy Dock” station for data storage/backup of all the astronomy data and the main computer. Now last night one of these drives decides to play stupid 🙁 O.K. I have been caught out really badly before now, so now there’s only one thing for it – a job I have put off for months – time to start getting all your valuable deep-sky data burned on to Blu-Ray discs. So I’m making a start on what will be a marathon data transfer session. So far I’ve burned 4 x 25Gb Blu-Ray discs, at least another 20 to go I reckon.

Be careful Greg. I have heard that some Blu-Rays discs have problems over time and become unreadable.
Yep – same thing was said about CDs and DVDs as well, I’ve never come across a problem yet – but I guess we’ll see 🙂
