So, for cold storage "long-term" backups, rotating rust, or even better rust-on-nylon (aka tapes) or so is the way to go.
I have some old audio tapes which are unplayable. The magnetic "bits" migrate from one layer of the wound-up tape to adjacent portions of the tape over time. --doug
And those you mention later going for SSDs, they are not backing data up on those SSD and store those SSD in a safe, are they? They'll keep those SSDs powered(!) (and RAIDed in some fashion) in a backup datacenter or some such scheme. But that's not a scheme for your J Random User, is it?
