i did some research into that subject and bought what was supposed to be one of the best brands (verbatim, iirc) but the DVD-RW drive was sketch af and i made a lot of coasters... still have the stack around somewhere, backing up my bandcamp flac downloads.
mostly i just keep my backups on a spare 1tb SSD... short of an electromagnetic pulse and not very much writes they are extremely durable too. but it's not easy to protect anything electronic from a cosmic ray blast, though i've heard that, interestingly, plastic blocks it.
the paper is only vulnerable to water and fire, pretty much, and water doesn't destroy it, if you get to it reasonably quickly and give it a dry-out. if i needed to know how to build a steam engine from junk parts laying around and no electricity i'd be hoping i printed it on paper.
