You have to either accept data storage is a dynamic process of repeated copying, or else do it the old-fashioned way and store your data on acid-free paper. (Well, unless you want to use one of the exotic technologies that etch your data on metal plates or whatever; but in practice, paper is a lot cheaper.)
