More hard drives. RAID, rotate them out when they fail, more backups too. lol

Sounds pricey. Discs are cheap.

I've never had a CD/DVD R last more than a year anyway, even when using expensive media and slow burn speeds. So its not exactly archival.

Which brand do you use? Not a single Verbatim has ever failed me, neither DVD nor Blu-ray. I also use a full-size burner with 12V SATA-USB adapter, not those stupid "slim" ones.

Thank your deity that M-Disc exists.

Doesn't matter that much for Blu-rays since they're non-organic anyway. It mattered more for DVDs since they use organic dyes, but I couldn't find any M-Disc DVDs in Poland.

Except it's time consuming and requires you to get up and physically insert the disc. Plus off hdd, you can easily stream it anywhere...
