Extremely long-duration storage concepts for space

A Lunar Backup Record of Humanity

“…Projects for the long-term preservation of data on Earth have been created in many locations that may be safe in a disaster, such as in mines, on mountains, and in the Arctic [14]. However, most existing projects aim to preserve information for thousands to millions of years, and they are limited by the lack of long-duration storage capabilities [14].…”
