I bought into the carbon-based BluRay discs. Good for 1000 years, right? ;) I haven't ever checked them since writing data to them.

    It's sad that optical media storage is essentially dead now. I burned a zillion cds over the years, and 99% of them were perfect even 10 years later. And at some point i started adding 10% PAR2 files to the discs, which made it so even if up to 10% of the cd was totally unreadable you could still recover 100% of the data. Heck, PAR2 file software becoming abandoned hurts at least as much.

    Does anyone know of a modern version of PAR2 files?
