I can still read my backup CDs from 1998. I recently invested in M-disk DVDs and a compatible burner. Not cheap ($10/disk), I only use one every other month, I use the regular DVDs the rest of the time. BTW I calculate and write MD5 checksums on the backup DVDs, so each file can be validated years from now.
