Error correction data can be either created in form of a separate error
|
||||
correction file or it can be placed directly onto the medium.
|
||||
Click on the answers to the following questions to find out which
|
||||
method is most appropriate for you.<p>
|
||||
|
||||
<i>Do you need error correction data for a medium which already exists?</i>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><a href="howtos21_answer=1.html" class="active">Yes, the medium has already been written.</a></li>
|
||||
<li><a href="howtos21_answer=2.html" class="active">No, but I am planning to write the medium now.</a></li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>More information on keeping error correction data</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
dvdisaster helps protecting your media from data loss by
|
||||
forehanded<sup>*)</sup> creation of error correction data.
|
||||
Error correction data must be treated like normal backup data, e.g.
|
||||
you need to keep it available during the whole lifetime of the
|
||||
respective medium.<p>
|
||||
|
||||
The easiest way is storing the error correction data on the medium
|
||||
you want to protect. But this is only possible if the medium has not yet
|
||||
been written: To employ this method you need to create an ISO image first,
|
||||
then augment this image with error correction data, and finally write
|
||||
the augmented image to the medium.<p>
|
||||
|
||||
If the medium has already been written, or insufficient space is left for
|
||||
augmenting the image, you still can create error correction data in form
|
||||
of a free-standing error correction file.
|
||||
This file must then be stored somewhere else, e.g. you need to take additional
|
||||
provisions to <a href="howtos24.html">archive</a> your error
|
||||
correction files.<p>
|
||||
|
||||
More information about the pro and con of these methods
|
||||
can be found in the <a href="http://dvdisaster.net/legacy/en/background30.html">old documentation</a>.
