I seriously doubt that you will ever outgrow a CD as backup media...first
you might want to consider making you exhibits external and backing them up
separately only when you've made changes or additions which is what I

currently have about 140 copies of backups on a CD (about time I delete
some of the older ones<g>)....It's just now nearing capacity.....
