Backup to Blu-ray DVD

The most advanced format of data storage is now available in Handy Backup!

Blu-ray is the name of a next-generation optical disc format using a blue-violet laser to read and write data and providing much larger storage capacity compared to traditional CD/DVD. While a single DVD can store up to 5 GB of data, blu-ray DVD can store up to 100 GB of data which makes it one of the most advanced data storage medium currently available.

Because blu-ray DVD disks allow storing really large amounts of data, they are ideal in terms of backup. For some users it will be possible to back up the entire hard drive to a single disk.

Optical disks are probably the best choice of backup storage medium because of their small size. Besides, they can be easily transported from one place to another and you don't have to worry about data loss or data corruption. Because Blu-ray DVDs are inexpensive relatively to hard drives, you can make several copies of the same data disk and store these copies in different physical locations thus reducing the risk of data loss or data corruption.

The advantages of backup to blu-ray disks:

• Larger storage capacity up to 100 GB
• Easy to store and to transport
• Reduce overall effort required to back up large amounts of information
• Cost-effective as you don't have to buy many DVDs or CDs
• No need to change disks while recording - an average backup will fit on a single disk!

Blu-ray feature is available after updating to the DVD version of Handy Backup
