That's a pretty valid point, but the review covered that some, and the 
Dacal machine seems reliable enough. It holds150 DVDs so that would be 
3/4 terabyte, and you can string them together on a USB port, up to 127 
of them.

The database software that comes with it can keep track of 19,000 DVDs 
so calculate the storage involved there! 8-) [roughly 89 terabytes]

When you consider damaged discs, and difficulty in locating discs, this 
seems like a good solution. I no longer believe it to be a real good 
backup solution compared to a 1 terabyte external hard drive, which is 
less expensive anyway.
