Each to their own. If people want to backup to DVD's, then that's their
choice. It's not a wrong decision.

To be honest, I don't really care what other people do, it's up to them.

Ignore DVD's. IMO, unnecessary. Get a USB external hard drive and back
up
all your photos from your second internal drive to this periodically.
Keep
the external drive off site. Keep it on-site as short a time as
possible.
If you want to get really serious, then back up to DAT's every day and
keep
them off site. For most consumers, using DAT's are an overkill and
expensive. Depends on your personal situation though, if you make money
from your photos, then carry out a risk assessment.


A single backup is insufficient. That's why people suggest cheap DVDs.
