My recommendations are still RAID 5 or 6 or to data tape backup. Philip Makes little sense to me either, since projects are generally in the Terrabyte region these days, as you say.

Maybe they think everyone is shooting 30-second commercials. I capture on 16 gig cards so I may or may not get two cards on a single-layer disc. I shoot high-def and my last project was 700 gigs. That would take 28 Blu-ray disks and many hours to back up. I can get tera-byte drives for less than $100 and it's a whole faster to transfer and retrieve the data. Why would I use Blu-ray?
