Abstract
Optical discs' capacity has increased. In case of Blu-Disc, it can store data up to 25 GB. Due to the large capacity, it can substitute tape devices for the use of backup. However, optical discs' surfaces are exposed so that it can lose data easily by exterior damages like scratches. Therefore additional reliability must be provided to maintain data for a long time. In this paper, we suggest a writing technique that gives optical discs additional reliability. Redundant data, generated by LDPC codes, are stored in disc along with the original data. These original data and redundant data are scattered over the disc to avoid losing a large part of data with one scratch. By deploying data with the distance that provides the reliability a user wants, we can enhance optical discs' reliability.
