You can do backups that span many disks. Optical Media is much longer lasting than magnetic media.
Most of my backup DVDs I created 10 years ago are no longer readable. So I wouldn't recomment that for long term storage.
Single-write are much more stable than rewritable.
I have burned cds and dvds from much longer ago than 10 years and they're still perfect when i go to get something from them.
