Do you do restore tests regularly? If not, it could be that you might not
have as many backups as you might think. =/

Never had a problem.
But most of this data is not critical for me. I could live without it
or it could be somewhat easily replaced.
My e-books and music, however, are absolutely essential and must be
preserved. Fortunately, these collections are only a few Tb and I
simply make new copies from time to time. I also keep copies on
USB HDD external drives.
What puzzles me is why hasn't implementing a viable long-term storage
solution become a top priority? Digital information is here to stay,
likely forever, and we need a way to preserve it forever without muss
or fuss.
Unfortunately, consumer-grade optical storage technology is in theNo, it simply isn't something anybody is using any more
hands of grubbing capitalists. As soon as sales fall by 10% they
will start to leave the market in search of a new fad.
