Not creative, burn two dvd's immediately from the raw files, put the DVD's in black light proof containers with a date label on the outside and reduplicate every two years. Also burn a collection of good images in PSD format on a DVD+RW until it's eventually full then burn another two DVD's. I have many more DVD's than I could ever need but I've had hard drives fail every couple of years. never had a DVD fail yet, but there was an article somewhere that I read about UV degradation over two years, so I got paranoid.
