I'm not sure cost is as much an issue in this area as is confidence in storage reliability. There are two file types we are aiming to keep safe, the RAW file (the original negative) and the processed image. I think this where a live archive comes into play, and being organized well with either labeling and/or have a system where the photos are located. Is it Aperture that allows you to retain the thumbnails even the files don't exist in a current drive? Or does Lightroom do that too?

As the price of Blue Ray drives and Disc come downs we can soon use these for disc back up as 5 DVD disc = 1 Blue Ray disc (25GB). Or 10 DVD disc = 1 dual layer Blue Ray disc(50GB).
LR retains the thumbnails even if you can't access the actual files.
