No, Disc, CD and DCD are to me one and the same. When speaking of a
hard drive (or HD), that's the term I use. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
When you say long term, just how long is long term, short term... etc?
Maybe a place online... a storage place. Don't they have those? And
they should be hard drives (HD)

Joseph,
I'm afraid your message is not clear. Initially you mention CDs and DVDs for
storage and then refer to disc. by which I take it you mean hard drives.
Respecfully, I would suggest the neither CDs nor DVDs are suitable for long
term storage. As well as the potential problems which have been mentioned
elsewhere in this thread, they loose their retentive properties over time (just
like me).

Your best deal (imho) would be CD's.... set up to act like a hard
drive. Or if you don't mean to replace them, and only wish to store the
files, then I'd burn them to DC's or DVD's and leave the disc open so
more can be added.
Also, I would save certain things on a disc. Photos on one, census
records on another, death, marriage and birth certificates on their own
discs, or if there's not all that many, put these certificates on one
disc... grave markers on yet another. That way it works like a filing
cabinet....
