Hello, I have a 1 file that I would like to store for a long time (Offline)
I have put it on magnetic tape and in an sealed enclosure, but time will destroy everything, so was wondering if there is a way to like zip the file to make it able to get restored if/when the corruption happens? much like a raid but just for one file

    If it’s that important, I’d have multiple copies on multiple media, in multiple geographic locations. Like two hard drives and a flash drive, as well as the tape. And in multiple formats. Like raw, and rar’d.

    My point is, anything important, you shouldn’t have only one copy of it. The more important it is, the more copies in separate locations you should have.
