[NTLUG:Discuss] Data Storage recommendations wanted.

[Kipton Moravec]

A friend of mine is starting a document scanning and storage business,
and asked me the best way to store the documents. The documents will be
scanned and stored on some type of non-volatile media, and will be
stored for so many days (30, 60 or 90) online.

Right now he is backing up to CD.  I am recommending to upgrade to DVD.
Is that what you folks recommend?

For the online data he does not need speed, he just needs tons of cheap
space. What is the cheapest way to store data on line? Just get a bunch
of SATA or IDE hard drives on multiple cheap servers?
