Pioneer BDR-212DBK is this Libre drive?

[ezzieyguywuf]

I'll admit I'm a little confused on the LibreDrive and KEYDB.cfg

for context , I purchased a pioneer BDR-212DBK recently, and I'm interested in using it to back up my DVD and Blu-ray collection.

at the time of purchase I did not realize that both DVD and Blu-ray used encryption/ drm, though I guess the protection has been cracked for dvd. my understanding is that Blu-ray uses some updated data on newer discs to prevent such cracking

my confusion lies in: what do I need to do to backup my collection? do I just need a KEYDB.cfg? how often do I update it? do I also need LibreDrive? or are the two used in concert? does my drive support LibreDrive? how do I check the version of firmware I have?

I am using Linux of that makes any difference. thank you for any help.

That drive will work fine as is for DVD/BD discs. It can also be flashed to enable UHD ripping if needed.
