Personally, I think it’s okay for things to disappear sometimes. Nothing is permanent. I have no anxiety about this.
Maybe someday all this media will be archived as dna: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/dna-the-ultimate-data-storage-solution/
I don’t understand the interest in DNA as a storage. It’s only long-living as part of the evolutionary proces in a living organism (with no guarantee for the survival of the data), but otherwise really fragile. And hard to interface and with slow read/write on top of that.
