3DGuy's right. The best way (at this time) to future-proof storage media is to keep it available on a network, and keep moving it forward from server to server as you upgrade servers. (remember: 15 years ago we were using TCP/IP over BNC "thin" ethernet) DVDs in 15 years are going to be like - hm - 15 years ago we were using 1.4megabyte 3 1/4" floppies. Seen any drives for reading those lately? ;) I store on 2 servers geographically separated and I periodically back one of the servers up to a removable 1 tb disk that I keep at my parent's house 500 miles away. mjr.
