That's the message you'll get when you're trying to burn that important disc. At today's prices, if you need an external burner, go with Buffalo, LG or another major brand. You still might get an occasional error message but overall you'll be happier because they happen much less. The time wasted more than makes up the difference.

Just curious. Are people still using these for archiving?
So even if your data is backed up on your laptop and an external HDD, they're still the same medium (I guess if one is an SSD and one is a spinning-disk that's technically different, but SSDs aren't good for longterm archival anyway). Burning everything to CDs/DVDs/Blu-Rays gets you a hard backup on another storage medium. Tape drives would be good, too, but ain't no one using personal tape drives these days.
Off-site would then be your cloud backup solution, backup to a co-location, or the cheap ass approach of sending an HDD with all your stuff backed up on it to your parents' house.
