Our Data Migration, Disc Duplication & Backup Services

USB DRIVES, MEMORY CARDS, HDD CAMCORDERS,
FLOPPY DISKS, DATA DISCS, DISC DUPLICATION & DATA STORAGE

Don’t let your family memories become locked away on outdated discs and drives–transfer data before it’s too late. Many of us still have treasured photos and home videos stored on old discs, drives, and other outdated media tucked away in closets and drawers. Bring us your collection and we’ll carefully migrate data onto a modern storage device you can easily access and share.

Sometimes, though, a disc is still the easiest way for family members to relive moments together. That’s why we also copy discs. We offer a range of services from single copies to bulk duplication, and from unprinted discs to full printing and packaging.  And if you’d like to make your disc memories even more versatile and time-proof, check out our DVD conversion services and our CD to MP3 services.

In addition to data transfers and disc duplication, we’re now offering secure backup services for family memories we digitize. By keeping a local backup of your digital files offline in our local lab – separate from your home device – you’ll have peace of mind knowing your newly digitized photos and videos are that much safer.  

Whichever options you choose, our data migration service, data backup service, and disc duplication services ensure you and others can enjoy and access your digital family memories for years to come. Stop by any location to get started!

As storage media ages, it’s important to consolidate and migrate data to a current option, and then backup data up so you don’t lose access to important files. At Memories to Digital, we believe in having a local, easily accessible copy of your memories, and a local backup stored in a separate location offline. This type of redundancy reduces your risk of data loss, a security breach, or theft.

  • Checking the integrity of the data transfer to the new discs to ensure all files copied completely. 
  • Documenting any hardware, software or file system problems that prevent a complete data transfer.
  • Advising you as to any troubleshooting or repair options.

All secure backup subscriptions include:

  • Storing a backup copy of your digital files on at least two of our local, offline storage servers with RAID 1 data redundancy. 
  • One annual download of your digital memories to a USB drive. We sell USB drives or you can provide a drive.

Currently, only digital files we produce in a film, video, photo or audio digitization or conversion project are eligible for storage on our backup servers.

Your original storage media are returned to you with your finished project. All data migration is done by our professionally trained staff in our local lab.

Note: Data transfer and disc duplication is limited by the condition of your original media. Additional charges may apply for: cleaning, handling, troubleshooting, or repairing dirty, moldy, damaged, degraded, corrupted or otherwise untransferrable media or files ($120/hour, $19.95 minimum per media, $4.95/file). Drives sold separately. All secure backup subscriptions require a current payment backed by valid payment information on file and are non-refundable. Secure backup subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel, and can be cancelled at any time with cancellation taking effect at the end of the paid term. If the auto-renewal fails, your storage plan will be extended for 30 days so you can update your payment information. After 30 days, your subscription will terminate, you will lose all access to the data, and your data will be deleted.

Preparing Your Storage Media for Transfer
  1. Number each original storage medium if there is a specific order you’d like us to maintain.
  2. Think about how many copies you’ll need. We recommend purchasing a second copy that can be stored separately for safekeeping. 
  3. For disc duplication projects, decide on a title for each original disc we are duplicating. 
  4. For each original DVD and HD disc that we are duplicating, provide a photo or a time code for a frame shot from your footage for the disc and case label. 
  5. Consider subscribing to our local, secure, offline backup storage plan.
  6. In addition to duplicating your discs, consider converting your playable discs to digital files for long-term preservation–read about our DVD conversion services and our CD to MP3 services.
  7. Once your memories are backed up and easily accessible, read about all of the services we provide to help you edit and share your digital video and your digital photos.
  8. Get started – pick a location to drop off your media and book an appointment, or simply stop by a location that accepts walk-ins.

    Testimonials

    Just wanted to thank you again for the great job you did on my family’s movies. They were a big hit, especially the first DVD – The Early Years. Mom and Dad both teared up as they told their children and grandchildren about our family’s history.

    Oke Johnson
    Superior, CO

    Thank you – the film transfers look terrific! It cost a little more than I had imagined, but it was well worth it. You did a great job and be sure that I will recommend your work anytime. I already did my first DVD with some of the clips and it just looks great!

    Here are the reasons to consider capturing your film in 2K or HD instead of SD:

    • Film predates pixels and lines of resolution. The image on film is generated when one or more layers of a random pattern of silver halide crystals react to light, and are retained or washed away and replaced by dyes in the developing process.The image detail generated by this process can appear anywhere on the surface of the film.
    • The more lines of resolution we scan with, the more of this random placement of image detail is captured and converted to pixels. Standard definition (SD) captures 720x480 pixels of detail, high-definition (HD) captures 1920x1080 pixels of detail, and 2K captures 2560x1440 pixels of detail.
    • Sometimes, scanning with more lines captures more of the “grain” of the film, or the crystals that remain on the surface of the film. The grain is more obvious in film that was produced with larger crystals (R8), and less obvious in film that was produced with smaller crystals (S8, 16mm). For some R8 film, scanning in SD softens the detail of the grain making it less disruptive to the image.
    • These days, with HD, 2K and 4K viewing environments - and larger and larger screens - more, smaller pixels is always better because the smaller pixels provide more detail and a smoother image as the image is enlarged to a big-screen.

    SD can never reproduce the full image detail on a film frame because SD video has a fixed pixel pattern with a density of 720x480 pixels, and the pixels that make up the image are always in the same place from one video frame to the next. But film has a random grain pattern, and the image created by the grains of crystals is in a totally different place from one film frame to the next. These random grains each carry a bit of the detail that make up the complete picture and, at running speed, the random grains overlap each other on the retina of your eye to significantly increase the amount of apparent detail. This is called “accumulative resolution”. If you transfer your 8mm home movies to SD video, even with the very best SD camera, your detail will be limited by the coarse, fixed pixel pattern inherent in SD video. Of course, HD and 2K have a fixed pixel pattern, too, but the number of pixels are so great and the pattern is so insignificant, that HD and 2K are like a fine silk stocking compared to the burlap weave of SD. 

    Our high definition (HD) film capture offers resolution gains of 667% over a standard definition (SD) capture (more than 6 times better). Our HD capture is not a mere up-conversion from an SD source. Our HD film capture equipment uses a high definition image sensor to take in 5 times the square pixels per frame of film that our SD machine is not capable of picking up. For 8mm films the HD image sensor generates greater than 4000 pixels per inch. Thus, the accumulative resolution effect found in film can be more readily seen in an HD transfer than in an SD transfer.
