Best game backup option
cwieberdink:
What is the best, most long-term reliable option for backing up arrtificial game files? An external harddrive? Tape drive? What does El Presidente use?
Emma:
I burn mine to CDs.
[eta] None of these are sims games, I have other torrented stuff that I've burned to disk. I've bought all the sims games, more fool me.
jolrei:
I burn to CD as well. On the other hand, the torrents are also still on my larger hard-drive, since I have the space.
Lord Darcy:
To avoid the Dance of 10+ Discs, I burnt all ARRtificial ISOs from Double Deluxe (Base Game+NL+CEL) to Seasons onto a dual-layered DVD, and use Daemon Tools to mount ISOs. All patches and a text file containing all serials are included as well.
cwieberdink:
The reason I'm asking is because mine were all burned to discs, which are unscratched and still managed to somehow become corrupted. I don't trust it totally anymore for backup. Even my legally owned, original manufacturer's DVD of TS2 is "unreadable or corrupted" despite having been installed with no problems on May 11.
