On the other hand, I've never gotten writable optical media to last longer than three years, despite storing them in a cool dark closet.

Did you compare checksums on the data you wrote?

On the earliest data, nope! Very likely I had some or many flipped bits.

I did have the backups on multiple discs and comparing the two they had the same data so I guess that's almost as good.
