Long term back up options

I'm starting to scan a collection of old family photos, letters etc, and I already have a large stash of photos on the HD. After a narrow miss a year ago, I'm looking into the best solution for long term back-up. I have a CD writer and a DVD writer.

So the questions are:

Is CD/DVD media safe for the long term - say 10 years?

If not the above, what else? I was interested by BT's Digital Vault Basic service - 2Gb of online free storage. OK, so it's free, which means they can mess you around if they choose, but it's an interesting idea.
