dvd of photosbacks of photos
Hi, I have made backups of thousands of photos on dvd. But how do I know
that none of the files are corrupted? Would I need to view each file on a slideshow? I'm new to using dvds as a backup media so I don't know what the common problems migth be with this way of saving my photos. Any useful tips are appreciated. (by the way I do have the backups in duplicate). Cheers.

I have used it and SyncFolders as well http://www.oak-systems.co.uk/oak/Syn...sp?ID=c455593f John H

The built in crc checking when reading is very robust. Dave Cohen
