I did not go to the Black Friday sale but I only buy the best quality DVD+R DL
media that my money can buy me which are Maxell, Memorex or Verbatim. When it
comes to making backups I choose and buy only the best which doesn't come cheap.
In some cases buying cheap only makes the problems and costs to backing up data
more expensive in terms of read and write errors, restoring and building data
in man hours
and time wasted in trying to backup and restore the data than it would if you
brought a high quality product in the first place.
You get what you pay for. ;)

You spent 8 DL DVD's on a backup?
Best price I've heard for DL DVD's is 10 for $20 (just this week) so you
spent at least $16 of write-once media, and probably much more if you bought
the DVD's before this week.
For about $30 you could have bought an 80GB hard drive, spent less time
backing up, and used it over and over again. With removeable rack/tray
maybe $45 total.
Hope you get find some cheap DL media at a Black Friday sale. Happy TG
everyone.
