We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

DVD special features? (alien.top)

Is anyone archiving special features? Or is it possible that this media is so ignored that it could actually get lost?

I gathered a pretty big dvd collection back in the day and now I'm moving so I've been thinking about getting rid of it. I transferred most of it to a digital collection, but now I'm realizing that a lot of the DVDs have special features that I'd miss out on if I get rid of them.

I spent my covid years backing up all my dvds and blurays. Most, especially for TV, I dropped them. But for movies I kept as many as I could.

Some people will have gone for iso backups so they're implicitly captured but I just did remuxes as separate files so they're easier to use and play.
