This guy at IBM seems to think differently though: http://www.networkworld.com/news/2006/011006-ibm-storage.html Now, it's just one guy's opinion, but it's still a pretty interesting thing to think about.

That doesn't seem very long. And I've had burned CDs that I made easily 7 years ago, and they work fine. Perhaps I misunderstood you? And if that IS the case, how does that technology differ from CDs and DVDs that can't be recorded onto (i.e. music and movies.)? recordable CDs and DVDs only have a 3-5 year lifespan??

I take full advantage of TimeMachine on Leopard. I've got an external USB disk that TimeMachine syncs to. Then I've got my linux box with a software RAID-5 array that I have an AFP mount on that TimeMachine syncs to while on my home network. And then, for the offsite storage, I've got an online backup service that works in the background. It took a long time to get all the files up to the online storage, but it makes me feel a lot better. I'm not losing any data anytime soon. One might say that I’m really paranoid.
