This is a good point. I have a backup strategy that includes cloud and offline HDDs, but at some point, when I'm not around to keep it all running, it'll probably just be family getting them off my laptop.

I should probably look at writing to bluray at some point.

I got hold on a bunch of classic PC games that where 10+ years old and lots of the CD's had data errors, so I wouln't bet on disc burning although plastic can last a long time so it has potential, maybe a startup idea, burning family albums on special bluerays that will last a long time =) also the lasers get old as well, so there might be difficult to find a working blyeray reader 50 years from now, but just like the environment it's not our problem right now :P
