Data Security

I've been to Andy's site and am still confused. I would like to know
what is the most reliable method of archiving the HDD to CDR.
I'm currently using Nero 5.5 and have choices of closed or
multi-session, ISO Level 1 or 2, mode 1 or 2, the character set, Joliet, and
relaxed ISO restrictions. I have not been able to glean the relative
differences effecting reliability from Andy's site. I thought I read
something about level 1 including CRC so I have assumed it reliable. I had
ran across info that some of these selections can effect the amount of data
stored, but again my concern is long term archiving.
Can someone help me out?
And Andy, if you catch this, I was hoping to find just such a section at
your FAQ. That is doing pure data.

You've raised an odd set of issues, most of which are irrelevant to the
reliability of the recording.

1. You cannot "archive" your boot drive ("the" HDD) with a program such
as Nero. You need a backup program to deal with essential, open files.

2. When you master a data session, you close the session. In order to
leave a data session open, you must use packets. Backup programs writing
directly to the disc use packets, but you should master if you are doing
it yourself (and omitting the open files).

3. Your files will dictate the data structure to use; with luck, you
will find one for the CD-R which will handle what you need for what you
are archiving. Of course, any backup program will deal with that.

4. ISO Level 1 is essentially dead and is fully subsumed in Level 2.
This is a non-issue.

5. The choice between Mode 1 and Mode 2 Form 1 is not generally
significant. For maximum confidence (reasons too complex to detail
here), I suggest using Mode 1 and DAO. The differences are slight and if
you find Mode 2 Form 1 and/or TAO better, they're also fine.

6. It is marginally preferable to close ("finalize) the disc when
readability is an issue. As above, the difference is slight and if you
prefer to keep the disc open, don't be concerned.

Subject: Easy CD Creator makes CD-Extra disc with no track titles
Date: 9/15/01

Is there any way to make a CD-Extra disc and get the track information
on it?

If you want to do a true CD Extra, you have to comply with the rules
for CD Extra - which means TAO and no titles.

ECDC and anything else which complies with the standard will comply with
the standard.

I know that's hard to accept, but try - real hard.

Perhaps, it's Mike Richter who should try - real hard?

Session-at-Once is ... used for CD Extra.
