Dead digital data is in fact the only thing that can be perfectly preserved as long as a sufficient number of copies exist and are replicated before the media rots.
Along with backups, keep checksums and check for bit rot regularly!

Nothing on a digital service.
Digital copies are a great way to have backups. Just don’t store your media with a third party.

And if the data is important and difficult to redownload, remember the 3-2-1 backup rule. You can rely on a third party but not completely.
