keep erasing, media

I need DVD RW that is less prone to error; say I back up 1000 files ( overidding all of them everyday from Hard disk to DVD RW ( not using packet writing , but erase and rewrite again )

Is DVD RW + or DVD RW- better in creating less error

From
www.nomorecoasters.com

1) it appears to be DVD RW - by pionner , and 2nd best MCC RW +

2) IT APPEARS that copying movies, MCC or TDK R- are the among the top ..( NOT R+)

I don't have enough experience with either to offer an opinion, when I started backing up to DVD, I bought a five-pack of Fuji +RW's for tests, and have had no problems with this brand, so far, but I'm not overwriting data on a daily basis.

For better feedback on backup solutions, you could visit a networking forum. I do know that if your backup scheme is of prime importance, you can get into low-end tape drive backup systems for around $300 U.S.

I certainly don't mean to discourage discussion on backup solutions, but if the conversation heads that way, we'll move this thread to General. I doubt that many Newbies need to backup their systems on a daily basis, so you might not get many fresh ideas in here. :)

You should look at the real media manufacturer (not the brand on the case) as well as media compatibility with your hardware. Both +RW and -RW could be equally good. Here's a good site to start looking:

I deleted your thread in 1-clicks for crossposting (and it was the wrong subforum to begin with).

which has the lowest risk of having some 1000 files facing data corruption ? (best protecting the 1000 files )

pls rank the top 2 lowest risk
a) erase files off dvd RAM , and copy the files from hard disk/storage into RAM
b) reformat the DVD RAM , and copy the files from hard disk/storage into RAM
just simply drag & drop from hard disk/storage card ,.overriding the files in RAM

I've merged one of your new threads (the post above this one), so please keep your issues organized, as it seems to me that you're now starting to cross-post within this forum.
