CD copy vs .ISO - relative merits?
I tend to be a belt-and-suspenders person when it comes to keeping things like driver disks, restore CDs, etc. If I wanted to make a backup copy of a system's restore CD, other than the hard drive space issues, is there a benefit to using Nero to make a CD copy vs. creating an ISO and making a CD if and when needed? I was thinking about these options tonight and realized I had never seen this discussed anywhere.
Any input gratefully appreciated. |

I personally take images of important CDs and store them on my Hard Drive. I do this largely because I keep my computer a lot better organised than my CDs.
Saying that, CDs probably make for a better data storage option, simply because hard drives can fail. You could always create ISO images and burn a few to a DVD. Freakitchen
