Using marker pages when scanning.

[Daniel D. Teoli Jr.]

This file will have 3144 scans in it. Along with backups on drives, every 550 scans or so I make a DVD to physically back it up. I use a color marker page to distinguish the set from future scans. Seeing a color marker helps when dealing with thousands of files like this. Once scans are complete the whole collection goes on M-Disc Blu-ray and an archival Blu-ray. I just like 2 different discs to diversify things. M-Disc DVD is pretty $$ or I'd make the smaller backups on them as well. But I use AZO DVD. If kept in the dark AZO DVD is good for 15 - 30 years. If kept in the sun, AZO DVD's are dead in a few weeks. And all Blu-ray are not archival. Some are pretty crappy. Verbatim makes the best archival Blu-ray discs. Preferably the Japanese made discs. The budget brands of Blu-ray I only use for temp work. Not archival at all if the sun hits them. Just a tidbit of info for you about optical discs.

If you want to start using color marker pages, here is a collection of them.
