Whats the best way to archive data long term while on a budget ? - eviltoast

I just need to preserve some old data that I have on my computers, so I was wondering what would be the best way to archive stuff long term.

Blu-ray disks ? Multiple HDDs ? What do you guys suggest ?

    I once lost a RAID6 to a faulty power distributor in a server cause (lost 5 out of 12 disks). RAID is not a backup.

      But 1 disk failing and the array braking aint either.
      This is about real time data not backup which should at best happen daily or bi-daily for really important data.
