NAS and SSD, multiple copies. I don't know if I'll get to the point of archiving on Amazon Glacier or something similar but that's always an option. Having just gone through a funeral for my dad this summer I can say that having non-digital images (photo prints, negatives, slides) doesn't always yield the most durable image. Compared to the possibility of storage devices failing I think digital images will be far more durable than previous analog formats... having those in a format and location where the next generation will know to find them is another matter. (For example: how long before the images I burned to archival quality DVDs cannot be viewed because no computers ship with optical drives and external optical drives are getting harder and harder to find?)
