@mangeurdenuage how do you store optical discs? i figure these wallets where the discs are stored in contact with other plastic are shit. jewelcases feel like the best option, but they need so much space :/
@mangeurdenuage thanks for the detailed answer! :)
maybe i'll just go for the slim jewel cases, those feel like a good compromise for space vs. good storage.
such atmosphere controlled systems are optimum of course, i guss just re-burning discs every x years is the more cost effective alternative that'll have to do :)
regarding fire, storing an additional backup in a car or something alike is "offsite" as well - even if the atmosphere is shit there. maybe in a zip-lock bag with silica gel.
i really need to get this shit done routinely and proper.

>slim jewel cases,
It's a good compromise but don't store things in these that you'll be using often, the surface area between the data layer and plastic is very small and you often get contact. Otherwise it's ok.

Invest in Mdisc imo, that's what I do.

I think this software should be maintained.
I use paper/craft envelops for stuff I don't care much, like animu. As for important stuff yes non transparent jewelcases are the best.
I'll add Data support storage is a bit complicate.
You technically have to take into account air pressure/humidity and temperatures. There a box and rooms that I used in the day for that be it for optical, tape etc...
Rooms usually had a system to fill the room with inert gas to avoid fire spreading.
I wish atmosphere controlled cases would be accessible for a reasonable price to public, it's a must if you want to store data very long term.
