I got some 100GB M-Discs for Christmas and will be making cold backups for family. Mostly pictures and video.
Planning to use something like dvdisaster to write error-correcting code (ECC) data to the disks.
Supposedly the M-Discs are good for 1,000 years if stored properly, but I'd be happy with "lifetime". I know most blue-rays written when they first came out (~2005) are still good to this day, so if these last even a few times longer, I'll be good.
