TW> For long term dead storage I think CD/DVD's are the way to go.   
      
   Agreed.   
      
   For super important data, like family photos, videos, etc, nothing beats   
   diversifying the backups.   
      
   I have the family videos on DVDs, converted to AVIs and copied on multiple   
   systems in different locations and even backed up.  I even keep a copy of them   
   on my work PC which is backed up in case my entire house burned down.   
      
   Yes, I'm super anal when it comes to backups.
