As for my photos, I can back all the collection to a single DVD (and
to a second one, since I keep hearing that DVD-Rs are unreliable), and
since I don't take new photos every week, this solution is fine.
A second DVD-R won't solve the problem because optical disks degrade
over time and the second one will degrade just as fast as the first.
What you need to do is to check the disks periodically (once a year is a
good time frame).
I myself would add a textfile with md5sums for all files to the DVD so
you don't have to check them visually.
