My solution has been to use hard drives and keeping copies on
different ages of drives.  I have a USB drive at work that also has my
music and I have two sets of drives at home (bought a couple years
apart) with a copy on each.  270 G makes DVDs not practical (and CDs a
joke) though even if they didn't degrade.

There is no such thing as archiving of digital data, which is rather worrisome.
