You don't say. anyways, long story short the only data that is guaranteed to survive is either data that does not require software, or data that requires software that can be easily/rationally reverse-engineered.
- toolslive 2y agoSoftware is not the problem here, hardware is: Software for storage is typically a rather thin wrapper around mathematics (for example forward error correction). The maths here tells you how to compensate for whatever decay/defect/loss you predict. The software can be made 100% correct. The hardware is the thing that will rot.
