   Currently I back up my stuff to external hard drives.  I keep the   
   latest copy offsite, and rotate the previous one back into the   
   office, ready for the next backup.  However, I have archived a   
   lot of stuff on DVDs.  I apply 25% PARs in the hope that if a   
   disk goes flaky, I'll still be able to pull enough stuff off it   
   to rebuild it.
