It seems that a lot of users are, irrationally, opposed to the

What, then, are some alternatives for the general user who does
not command the BIG $BUCKS necessary for enterprise grade solutions.
Tape? Not likely.
Note that magnetic (HDD) or IC NAND (SSD) devices are not to be
considered long-term storage. Consumer SSDs are especially not
long term.
Why not?
Provided they are kept powered on
Optical media is still by far the best in terms of cost/benefit
for the general user.
I have hundreds of optical disks that I have produced over the
past years, all with GNU/Linux, and they will last me until the
end of my time.
