There are some interesting technologies in the pipeline for truly long-term data storage. Synthetic diamond is one option (light-sensitive, so perhaps susceptible to cosmic-ray degradation over time):

Another is microetching, i.e. ion-beam insertion of foreign atoms into crystalline materials, such as diamond or nickel, although the data density is lower than the above approach, it seems a lot less sensitive (i.e. light should have less effect):
