With all the data in my laptop, the need to back up my data is tremendous. Besides putting data in my not-so-trusty hard drive, I rely on my dvd burner in my laptop to burn my data into dvds or cds for safe-keeping. Hence the amount of empty cds and dvds I buy to keep all files, big or small.
A program that I always feel reliable and easy to use to help me burn is nero express. It’s easy and fool-proof. Just add relevant files and click a few buttons and there you are, a cd or dvd encrypted with your datas!
However, the thing that annoy me most is when halfway through burning process, the burning process failed and I am forced to discard my wasted cd or dvd. I cannot burn another set of data into the cd or dvd which had encountered failed burning process. How I try to force my dvd burner to accept that cd or dvd, something will pop up to say that the cd or dvd is empty even though nothing is burned inside ie there are empty folders which equals to something is inside the cd or dvd.
So I have to use another new cd or dvd and discard my unused, half-burned-but-didn’t-hold-any-data-inside cd or dvd. This is wasteful with all the preaching of how we should recycle and preserve earth. I am aware of the issue but there’s no proper recycling centre in segamat where I can dispose these unwanted cds. Maybe there are but I am just not sure where and I think it will be very inconvenient for me to go there. I didn’t even know where if there is a recycling place for cds or dvds in
Am I not aware of the recycling and the earth issue? I am aware. Do I feel the need to do my part? Yes I do. Is it possible to do my part? It is possible but a tad difficult. I have already participated in recycling campaign and sweated over the effort of lugging heavy recyclable stuff to raise money and I know it’s hard work. If there’s something like that going on, I will be happily doing my part to collect all the recyclable stuff in my household to be recycled. Provided there’s someone who come and collect ^^
