Do you want to store data or movies? 10,000
docs or 1 full length movie? Those are different
uses. I easily get all of my time-sensitive backup
onto a DVD. Things that don't change, like software
installers, video, photos, etc, go on DVDs and a
backup hard disk.

Dual layer DVDs aren't that expensive these days. 8.5 gigs, raw.

You keep talking about what a tremendous hassle
DVDs are, yet you haven't used a CD/DVD for 13
years!

I still use them myself. Mostly single layer, but I also use dual layer
from time to time.
