[Gllug] Long-term storage of digital photographs

[John Winters]

I have a steadily increasing collection of digital photographs on my
hard disc, and I can see the time coming when I want to move some of
them off to make space for other stuff.  Not so much due to a lack of
disc space as a lack of backup capacity.  I have a 35G DLT drive, but
even that will be too small within the foreseeable future.

What would the team recommend as a medium for long-term archiving of
digital photographs?  I would like to be able to go back at least 20
years (like you can with shoe-boxes full of conventional photographs and
negatives) and embarrass my children in front of their spice/children.
Do CD-Rs and DVD-Rs have proven data life?

TIA,
John
