Back-up your media items stored in Cloud collections onto Blu-ray M-DISC, 50 or 100GB Blu-ray Discs, or LTO-6 Tape for additional redundancy protection of important files.
Digital files backed up to Blu-ray Disc or LTO-6 tape. Pricing is based on the number of GigaBytes (GBs) to back up. Pricing starts at $25 for 5GB, the minimum order. Shipping & handling charges apply on orders less than $100.
Return Format and Media types - We return your backup copy on a Blu-ray Disc, utilizing either an M-DISC (25GB), Dual Layer (50GB) or Triple Layer (100GB) version of the Blu-ray Discs. When the amount to back up exceeds 500GB, we may use LTO-6 tape. The media we use depends upon how much storage space is needed to
back up your cloud collections sent to Cintrex. Blu-ray M-DISCs are
rated to last up to 1,000 years and are used for the smaller amounts of
data. Both the Blu-ray M-Disc, dual and triple layer Blu-ray Discs, and
LTO-6 tapes are excellent backup options, used by corporations and
serious-minded archivists for long term backup of important files.

Local area vendors will also have the appropriate media readers.
