Very interesting topic.
For preservation, encode the data in the DNA of a bacterium, replicate it massively and put them in some kind of suspended animation (hand waving wildly).
Getting the meaning of the data is another matter. I wonder whether it will be possible to create species of bacteria that can decode the above DNA and present it directly accessible to human senses - ex: bacteria that change color, form shapes, etc.
