Keep in mind I'm not an archival expert so you should do your own research. That being said, currently I'm using pyFileFixity [1] to generate the hashes and ECC data for my personal backups. I write them to M-Disc Blu-rays using Dvdisaster [2] which can also write additional ECC data. After a lot of googling and reading this useful Super User question [3], and this extensive answer [4] I settled on this setup. I must admit that I am guilty of storing images as JPGs and compressing most most of my files in ZIPs for convenience.
