Once made a quick $5k, because a former client had started using CD-RW for their "enterprise" backups, 10-years later they had unreadable data and contacted me to see if I still had some source-code.

Checked my stack of hard-drives, and... Yes... yes, I did have a working copy.

That cemented it in my personal world - NAS with also HD's is the way to go.



Both you and client got lucky there.

Many contract agreements would not allow you to keep the data, and you'd be more likely to be sued than paid!

But I agree that (maintained NAS >> removable media). :)
