MURICA!
Just dig a hole in the back yard and place the USB key or whatever in a water tight container and fill it in.
So basically the same as I've done with half my life savings. Should I take half my data to the track and put it on the dog that does his business just before the race as well?
That's way too complicated and takes up way too much space.
I've simply encoded my data as a series of numerical digits. I then put a decimal to the left of the resulting number, creating a fraction. I then made a mark on a tungsten rod such that the ratio of lengths on either side of the mark is equal to the fraction.
As a recovery strategy I just need to measure the two segments to sufficient precision to recreate the original number. Easy peasy.
As a bonus I can store any amount of data, and my backups just take up the volume of the one rod.
