Peter Cohrane has come up with the ultimate location-based back-up solution for protecting vital digital assets against any terrorism, cyberattacks, natural disasters or other conflagrations.

"Two locations strike me as being ideal for the mass data back-up of all our most vital data: deep in the ice of the Antarctic or, perhaps even better, the far side of the moon. If we want to achieve almost zero biodegradation of the media coupled with a total physical inaccessibility, where better than 20 meters below the surface of the ice where the temperature hovers around -60 degree centigrade, or on the far side of the moon at around -230 centigrade?"
