What are some good ways to archive digital data?
Hard drives appear to be too volatile, DVD and the like supposedly evaporate after a certain amount of time. I'm thinking something with a 20 year life span would be about right. How about it? What is anyone else doing?

I use gold archival-grade DVD-R, the ones they came out with 10 years ago that are "guaranteed to last 100 years." How they were able to test that is anyone's guess.

We back up to a FW hard drive connected to a server each night. When one of these backup drives fills up, we make a clone to a 2nd hard drive. The 1st copy stays at the studio for later access, if ever necessary, while the 2nd copy is taken off-site and never touched, unless the original is damaged. This has been pretty cheap and, I feel, quite safe and with good redundancy.
