[ale] archiving backups

[Jim Kinney]

The one advantage of the mdisk is the playback device is a standard DVD
drive. The recorder drive is the same price as a regular DVD burner. But
one would need to weigh the time cost of managing a growing archival
collection against a larger and more expensive device.
I like the LTO6 tape system at work but can't justify $12k for home.
OK. I'm fine with it but the other people I live with would be extremely
furious if I dropped that much on personal hardware. :-)
