CD's are no way to handle that much data (e.g. 1 terabyte == ~1800 CDs) especially if you care about the data at all. I bet it will be a nightmare to catalog, maintain and recatalog this mess over the long run.

Since you need to read them all anyway to catalog them (hopefully you have a jukebox), if at all possible, I'd suggest you buy a few capacity disk drives or a small disk-tape HSM system and keep the data there where users can get to it directly, without intervention. If your company has backup system that allows archiving (e.g. Tivoli), that may be another solution. FWIW, it is also much easier to make backup copies of data once it is on disk/tape. Another poor man's "solution": move the data to DVDs and catalog those instead.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
