Dead right. I've been down that path many times with many backup systems that proved useless when needed, for that very reason. The key to long term storage is keep it simple and transcribe...

It sounds very high tech but 40 year archival time is just a moment in history. Where would we be if ancient manuscripts were good for only 40 years?

Went through boxes of my old floppies a while back when I still had a reader. Hardly any of them could still be read.
