Alright so I’m both a physical media freak and a data hoarder, and I generally want to get into making my own torrents of very, very niche movies and TV shows. Trouble is, one BD is very flimsy and data can be even flimsier. I want to duplicate my BluRays and burn them onto other BluRay discs but I’ve heard that this generally makes the duplicate unreadable because of copy protection.
Is there any specific guide out there that does this or teaches it? I’m not really planning on becoming a bootlegger but a sneakernet of 50-100 disks in boxes is a hell of a lot less startup cost than LTO or even HDDs
Three copies (a raid mirror and a backup counts), two types of media (drive and tape), one off-site (where it won’t be affected by fire, flood, tornado, earthquake).
A cloud backup gets you all but the local mirror in one go.
Also, it doesn’t count as a backup until you’ve tested a restore and verified it works.
