I've never yet actually had to go to a backup DVD to retrieve a file, so my
spindle sets simply sit unopened on a shelf. No dust, no movement. I was using
binders back in the days when I archived on CDs, but it didn't take long to
fill a complete book, and it was an added expense. I may eventually place the
DVDs in binders, but they're resting happily on their spindles for now.
