Very wise but only 10 per DVD means storing a lot of DVD's.

I'ts interesting that a CD/DVD/VHS tape etc can come with a lifetime guarentee, that is up until you record something. This guarentee doesn't include any data contained on the media.
A few years ago I was employed in the digital imaging business particularly with document storage and archiving, (document includes images). Under no circumstances would CD/DVD been recommended for backing up or archiving. Slight changes in humidity, temperature or exposure to light can all effect CD/DVD's.

Having said that - I back up my RAW files onto CD (min 2 copies of each) and then to an external HD.
