What is the best (non internet) way to archive files/data long term?
I was thinking dvdr discs should last at least 10+ years.
For "archiving", stowing data dvd discs away in envelopes or jewel cases for long term,
Only to be opened up if something bad happens to the hard drive and all flash drives.
The data dvdr discs would not be taken out of their envelopes for day to day access.
For day to day access I have the files on a hard drive and flash drives.
I thought dvdr discs were good for archiving because once stored away they last a long time and
cant crash like a hard drive and cant get corrupted like flash memory.
I figure that the vulnerability of dvdr discs mostly come from day to day handling,not from storage.
So if stored away in a envelope or jewel case they should last indefinitely.
