Yes I agree DVD’s are cheaper but sometimes not real reliable. I have seen them turn into nice coasters while I make frisbies out of them cause my backup for whatever reason is gone or the disk can’t be read. I did buy a small external USB drive that is very portable and reliable but not cost effective. I suppose it’s a matter of preference but I’d rather be safe then sorry. BTW nice articles on this website.

If you’re talking backups, yes, DVDs are the cheapest way to go for permanent storage of data. Online storage is a better option for those that wish to have their backups off-site or easily accessible while away from home. What is it that needs backing up? Documents can be backed up via email, pictures by websites like flickr. Home videos I can see backing up on DVD, but one tragic house fire, tho rare, and they are gone. Maybe a full computer image backup? OK, DVDs are the cheap way to go, but I still say online is better.
