Is it a viable option?
I’ve gotten a few discs, and up to some years prior, I’d use the PS3 to back them up. However, as its HDD is starting to fail (took it long enough e.e’'), I’d been considering getting a bluray reader for dumping the ISOs, possibly a Wabcom 5-in-1 but still evaluating that part.
But as I am on Linux Mint, and I don’t mind the ISOs being encrypted (iirc I’d use FOSS keys and they’d work fine), would ddrescue be enough for that, or would I need to use some other program, perhaps even some dedicated/paid one?
Also bonus question: I also got CDs and DVDs to backup. Would I be able to do it for them too?
Thanks in advance!
I used to do this w my movies on dvd until I realized that it took up significantly more disk space than simply saving the movie as a file instead;
Agreed it takes quite a lot of space, but I care for the ephemera just as much as for the main content, thus I am fine with the space taken.
You tube had all of mine
You do you, but what about my question?
I suggested an alternative because idk if your question has an answer.
You’re trying to use a tool that’s meant for volume recovery/forensics to duplicate bluerays; you’re in novel territory for most.
