Thumb/flash drive as longterm storage

SSD and cloud, for me. Pay for a proper cloud service that backs up across multiple locations and has backup even if someone accidental deletes it. Nothing digital is failsafe, but cloud storage is pretty damn close.

^ That is certainly one approach -- and it's a reasonable one.

However, SSDs do not fail gracefully -- they typically die with no warning.  And they typically die unilaterally (like a light switch turning off) with their data unrecoverable by utilities like Spinrite, PhotoRec, DDRescue and TestDisk -- which frequently allow some amount of data resurrection when used with mechanical drives.

Cloud storage is great, but it becomes a somewhat difficult premise when you are generating terabytes of data every week or month -- and if you are also dealing with proprietary data that cannot be compromised.
