Question : huge image file- how to handle it

if you face a huge image file, and it is going to take 18 DVDs to hold it, is it worth it? won't be a pain to bring all the data back?

DVDs are much cheaper, but costlier other ways..

any experience like this, and how did you handle it?

thanks

Answer : huge image file- how to handle it

why not backup to an external or network drive?
good thing about dvd's is no hardware failure and can put them away safe but overtime they may become unreadable
if you are going to backup on a regular basis then backing up to dvd's is not worth it as it would be too time consuming
