Best advice is that you do not need to invest your time or money in
"back ups" of you collection. It is a waste of time and money.
You discs will remain in pristine condition if you merely maintain
them that way.
This means NO cleaning devices.
The best way to keep mint condition DVDs in your collection is to
follow a simple rule.
NEVER touch the optical read side of the disc... EVER!
That means there are only two places the disc belongs. In the DVD
caddy it was sold in, or in the player's tray.
Transferred between the two only by hand, and by only the disc
edges. Never to be placed on a surface, and if done this way, that
read surface NEVER needs cleaning.
PLastic is much softer than most paper towel, etc. cleaning
products, and even the cleaning machines collect debris which is
typically harder than the plastic surface.
What this means is that a disc cleaner device is really a disc
scratcher device.
A properly maintained disc never need to be contacted by anything
other than light.
There went the need for a backup. Don't give me that "I have kids"
crap either.
IF you have kids, YOU need to educate them, or refrain from allowing
them to be the operator of the player.
It is that simple.
