Anyone know of a template that can be used for DVD covers for just general backups of PC files?
I'm looking to backup a lot of my project files and images, but would like to have DVD cover for my backups so that I can easily look at the box to see whats on the disc instead of popping in a bunch of DVDs 'til I find the right one.

Sorry z0mbiew0lf, I accidentally your whole post.

I'd reconsider DVD backups unless it's in addition to another backup plan. Though commercially printed DVDs could theoretically last for quite some time, DVD's you make in a burner at home have a much shorter lifespan.
triverse:
Doom, do you have any ideas other than DVD burning or Hard Drive storage? I usually replace my backup's once every 5 years (if they last that long before needing replaced) on DVD. Currently going through and putting CD backups on my computer so that I can categorize stuff onto DVD's.
Doom:
I don't have any data I *really* need to keep, so my backup plans are kind of lax. I have an image of my hard drive on a backup hard drive, along with duplicates of data I would like to keep. If I had data I wanted to make sure to keep, I would probably use redundant hard drive, web based, and for really important stuff DVD/flash memory backup. Amazon and lots of others offer cheap web based storage. (IIRC Amazon is something like $0.25 per GB)
