I would also like to thank you for your very detailed outline on the M-disk. I don't see it as an either/or situation with LTO. I have clients who balk at the technology involved with LTO, and are doing smaller projects that would do fine with 100GB datasets (Promo in Video, most projects are smaller than 100 gigs.)
The lure of this technology is it's simplicity, and the levels of technology it doesn't require to function, both in hardware and software. That is a lure that is very viable in a world where the democratization of editorial post has every Tom, Dick and Harry doing work, and many of whom couldn't set up al LTO drive or use the backup software to save their lives.
This is CLEARLY not a replacement for LTO, which most studios and high end post clients ultimately backup to, but another solution in the tool box with some very simple alternatives.
In another arena, the average home consumer hasn't had a viable choice for backup of all those kid videos and photos to that has any longevity. This is a solution for a reliable piece of media you can put in your safe deposit box or your relatives safe, and expect to still have the data in 20 to 50 years.
Thanks again for the detailed perspective.
