IT is interesting. I have a friend who is a well-known audio guy who stored a BMW 2002 Tii in a limestone cavern in Pa., not sure if it was Iron Mountain. I know my old files were stored by Iron Mountain. The "sticky shed" stuff is not something I'd want to mess with-- some of the mastering engineers, like KG, deal with this. It's artifact preservation and a hope and a prayer to capture the thing- on digital-- which has its own problems in terms of longevity. I'd mention a client who has gone the extra mile, cutting discs on metal using DMM to preserve material. There is some science to this, apart from the "dark arts." Preservation archivists are interesting folks. That's where I learned to appreciate digital, but I'm not sure it is a "forever" medium.
