The easiest way to do this is continuous distribution, so that the files are stored in many places, and are continually being stored in new places.

If your preservation isn't freely available, it's probably not very well preserved.

Finally! I finally have someone who agrees with me that distribution is necessary for preservation.

Unless, I admit, you have a very good and secure backup system.

But yeah, there are good reasons why even the Internet Archive, the paragon of digital preservation probably, hopes to someday have multiple locations.

If Lowry burnt down (one can only hope) it would set most studios back 4 years plus
