Do you do a backup of your backup? You indicate that you do. It made me wonder How long a DVD lasts.
I was looking at photos on an 11 year old one yesterday, and it was OK. My main problem with old DVDs of backups is that I have thrown them away, and then discovered that they contained information that I wanted.
At how old should I be 'refreshing' or duplicating my DVD backups?
