For me I had a stack dvd blanks left over, I decided to save a little bit of money and used them to back up folders of childhood photos, documents etc and place them inside their own jewel cases.

I do have a 2TB external HDD, But that I throw on LARGE steam game back ups and movies.

Sure, the "cloud" exists and I use that too but what if your intewebz goes down, good luck getting your backups until it's back up.

What do you use? Optical media, tape drives etc?

Verbatim is still around. They still say, "Up to 100 years". 10 years is up to 100 years.

Play the lottery. You could win up to $1M dollars.

With the lottery, you could also just win $1M dollars (assuming that's the jackpot). But I get your point.

It seems like an unlikely claim from them given your experience, but are they still going to be around 100 years after making that claim? And if they are, is anyone who cares going to be around to call them out on it? Lol
