  • My family has a collection of important pictures, documents, and videos which are currently stored on CD-R, and have been since 2005. Ten out of the ~250 discs have been destroyed by disc rot, but luckily there were redundant copies. I am planning on migrating the collection to BD-R, because they seem much more robust. I'm also going to use ECC to protect the discs (https://github.com/speed47/dvdisaster)
