I agree, in that if I would now make the decision, I would buy a large
hard disk. But I though DVD was OK to bacula, when I bought the set of
DVD's. I wanted a media that could be taken off site (I had used to a

Steady movement is more important than speed, much of the time.  So long
as there is a regular progression of stimuli to get your mental hooks
into, there is room for lateral movement.  Once this begins, its rate is
a matter of discretion.
