There is no one solution but any solution where folk don't want to lose content means there is your storage copy and the copy on another drive that you use.

I have tons home videos (on Super 8, 8 MM, Mini DV) that I want to save forever, if possible. With my Mini DV camera a 50 minute kids SOCA match is a 12 GB AVI file. What is the best media to store these files for long term? I've been storing them on 2.0 terabyte Seagate External Drives. I stopped using Western Digital when I lost 2 drives.
Thanks for your advice...
