Blu-ray Disk Lifespan - Backups Needed?
Posted: Tue May 17, 2022 11:49 pm
Recently I found that one of my Blu-ray disks, and one of my DVDs would not play. There were no scratches on either of them but I noticed the dye on the DVD seemed to be fading in places. I have no idea why the Blu-ray wouldn't play...
I bought another DVD and made an ISO image of it, so if it fails in the future, I'm covered. I have just purchased another copy of the Blu-ray.
Considering the above, do you think it would be wise to back the Blu-ray up?
How common are such problems? Should all disks be backed up to a hard disk?
Thanks in advance!
