The data stored in the filesystem, yes, but the laserdiscs store
alot more than what can be seen with *VFS, *CAT. All the images and
stuff are stored in a outside the filesystem and are displayed by
the laserdisc player itself.
 
With any filing system you can copy the data off the laserdiscs, eg
with *treecopy vfs::0 net::backup.domesday which I did back at
Stirling, and forgot to keep a backup of.
