Depends on what the objective is...  what I am after is off-site, not-
plugged-in-to-the-computer, absolutely, positively no risk from 
lightning from power, sat dish -- for ELA files, rare data, etc. Not 
huge data amounts.  Something to supplement directory backups to a 
network HD.  CDs seem perfect for this from what I have seen so far.
