Digital archiving tools

Hi Al, Dredging up an old email thread... In article <4D77C151.90005 at bitsavers.org>, Al Kossow <aek at bitsavers.org> writes: So, based on the above decision, if you were archiving CD-ROM images, you would store them as uncompressed .iso files? Wikipedia says: "ISO disc images are uncompressed and do not use a particular container format; they are a sector-by-sector copy of the data on an optical disc, stored inside a binary file." Therefore the best way to archive CD-ROM images is to use straight ISO since partial corruption of the file wouldn't corrupt the whole image. Am I following your reasoning correctly?
