I have hundreds of DVDs that were burned with backup photo files. Some
are five or six years old. I did a spot check of a few dozen the other
day, and all were good.
Every duplicate copy of a file is a backup. But some backups are
better than others.

It's not a backup until there are three physically distinct copies, at
least one of which is somewhere else.
Burnable DVDs have a terrible shelf life and should not be considered
backups.
