The best long-term storage method I know of is to inscribe the information on a
tablet of wet clay and bake it in an oven, after which it becomes hard as rock.
Sumerians did this 6000 years ago and their writings are still perfectly
readable.

Now we just need to find a way to get more storage per square inch of baked

Hmmmmm.... not only a Cunieform Assembler, but the "printer" to form
the raw clay, inscribe the tablets, and complete with an automatic kiln to
bake 'em afterwards.
This is obviously what .zip files were really meant for.
