For this reason, I am gradually moving towards keeping all my data,
including backups, on "live", powered drives, so I can catch failures
very fast. I am mid-way through importing all my old CD-Rs and DVD-Rs,
and finding plenty of unreadable or partially damaged discs in the
process. My current "live" disk regime (one live data disc, one live
backup disc, a hot-pluggable USB backup drive that I sync monthly and
store in a different building to the first two) seems to be working well
but I've only had it up and running for a couple of years.

If I were to consider optical discs again, I would need a bullet-proof
regime that ensured that written discs were regularly read-checked to
catch degradation. This feels like it would be a lot of work.
