 Hey guys welcome back to channel. This is Daniel Rossell. I thought I'd show you guys the fruits of my labor over the past few days This project's taken me about a week Not obviously doing it like back-to-back, but just doing it a few discs a day I finally got through everything on my NAS moved it all over to M disc So this is actually it's kind of crazy to think this little CD case contains pretty much the last three years of my video I've put that I've been putting on YouTube as well as all my stock video Pretty much all my video work is in this. So this is just a regular CD case. They picked up on Amazon. It's a 96 CD case and I'll show you guys what's on the inside or these m discs So I did give it a little label backup video backup archive and I also just wrote in permanent marker here because I imagine as if I stick with video, which I very much intend doing I'm going to be filling up not just one of these but eventually many of them because the discs aren't that huge themselves So basically these are my m discs that I burned off my NAS Going forward it's gonna be much easier because every time I fill up 23 gigs I can just burn one This was a bit of a tedious process because I needed to go back through the entire Everything on my NAS and export it and 23 gigabyte Chunks and then burn a disc and then burn another disc I'm currently not doing off-site physical off-site backup. Yes, because all this stuff's on YouTube But if I wanted to do this to the next level I would either buy an m disc duplicator, which I covered in a previous video those things do exist offline you don't need a computer or the slightly more labor-intensive method would be just to You burn one disc like this stock. This was my about half of my stock video library Just burn it once and then burn it twice most burning programs support that process So you just you know take out that m disc put in another one burn another one And then wherever you're storing that off-site you can maybe post it out to a friend or whatever So, yeah, the good thing about m discs is that they are just regular Optical media if you've seen a CD or a DVD or a blu-ray, they're all to the best of my knowledge the exact same form factor These ones from verbatim are have the m disc logo and they are writable on the front with marker And then this is what they look like on the back. You can see me here holding on my little gimbal. They're kind of dark So you should probably be a little bit careful and not, you know Being overly aggressive and handling that layer and like most CD packs this thing fits. I'm just gonna leave that guy That was not that was not the best And yeah, you can just take a regular permanent marker and Right, so I'm currently labeling these like for instance. This one is stock archive one 1805 22 so that was like my first it's just hard to slot this guy in so I'm holding my gimbal with With one hand. All right, I'm gonna put this guy to the side and do this after the video So basically when I was doing this my first batch I just labeled them all like video backup and then the date I took the backup And these are 25 gigs. Why did I get the 25 gigs ones? They also come in 50 and 100 I bought 25 just to kind of hedge my bets in case it didn't work. You've got video three You've got my second half of my stock library more finished video more finished video This was as you can see quite the process finished video three finished video four five six I'm what I'm gonna be doing in the future is just saying like May video because depending on how quickly it takes me to fill up a 20 Gigabyte M disc it might take me one two or even three months We go on we go on we go on I put my wedding photos onto an M disc I put my vlogs onto a separate M disc And I think that's about as far as I am now I just recorded a bunch of footage at a conference So I put that on to an M disc and you can see I still got like a decent Chunk of storage here to fill up. So yeah, that's my current M disc archiving backup methodology all fits into a Transportable CD case and I guess the nice thing is if you had a really fast I don't my internet uplink sucks because these things are so easy I mean you could put this guy into a backpack pack your blu-ray drive go to somewhere with crazy fast internet and Just upload M disc by M disc to the cloud like if you had a super super fast internet connection You could do this once every I don't know six months And that would be another perfectly valid way of doing an off-site backup So your onsite is your M disc and your off-site might be AWS or back plays or whatever hope that video is useful Another one on the old the old M discs. Thanks for watching. Keep tuned for more videos
