My two cents worth on data archiving are as follows:
We have are in a similar position in that we have a Windows NT network =
and a Macintosh attached to our BD cytometer. The Cytometer has a Jaz =
drive for storing data during acquisition and this data is later =
archived to CD-R. To get around the *two platforms* problems I have =
connected the Mac to the network and installed an FTP daemon on it. This =
allows us to simply FTP files onto the PC with our analysis software and =
CD-R burner, you can then easily do either off-line analysis or =
archiving on that machine.
If considering CD-R carefully consider the mastering software that comes =
with it. I have seen colleagues have a number of disasters buring =
multi-session CD's with CD-R mastering software that did not provide =
safe multi-session/volume recording. We are using software called *Gear* =
and have been happy with it - the documentation (in PDF format) is =
fair-good. It would be interesting to hear what other members of the =
list use :)
