If you're worried about preservation, you've got to treat it like evidence in a criminal case.  I found it stunning during the Rittenhouse trial that the prosecution had such a poor command of their electronic evidence, especially the video evidence.  You save the hashes of the files and then protect that list of hashes.  Compare the hash when you go to open the file and it'll reveal any tampering or damage due to bitrot.

Multiple copies, multiple media, is the way to go when you're serious about archiving.
