My old medium format negatives in the bank box look like new, but there is no affordable high resolution film recorder to convert digital to film.  Additionally, converting them back to digital for later use would involve yet another step where information is going to be lost.

Everything is an interim or temporary solution.  The Millenniata disks are an alternative that might be more convenient than the small external hard disk I now keep in a bank box.  (I'm told they need to be run periodically to keep them working.)  No in-home/business solution avoids the fire risk, and the bandwidth problem makes the "cloud" a problem.  So, for one's best work, a few of these disks may be a reasonable solution for now.  

Digital has it's problems, but I'm about to sell some of my medium format equipment and frozen stash of 120 Tech Pan.
