They are relatively cheap and if your concerned about failure it
should be possible to copy the data twice.<br>
<br>
There are also a few archive formats that support repair of
missing data but I am not sure how well they would do with losing
a significant portion of the data.<br>
<br>
I wonder if something like par2 would fit the requirements.<br>

Looking at backing up a little less than 300 GB of files.

one copy to 25 GB Bluray discs.<br>

I don't trust CDs and DVDs for backup. I don't think I would
trust Bluray either. I have had discs go bad on me over
time. For that much data I would use an external hard drive.<br>
