I use them for archival backups of personal media.

Sweet! I still havenโ€™t started doing offsite physical backups. I do have backups locally and encrypted in a third party cloud, but no physical copiesโ€ฆ

And why do you prefer this over USB sticks (thar are dirt cheap nowadays)?

Mostly because I already have a burner and two 75-count spindles of blank DVDs.

USB sticks donโ€™t last as long

A CD-R will retain data longer than a USB stick.
