I would not even be confident that the disc would be readable in 50 years’ time except by certain archivists or hobbyists.

There are so many hours of music people wrote on Amigas or Atari STs that are just floating around out there on floppy discs that are still readable by a small number of people, so they will never be heard again, and it’s been only 30 years.

This is why you add a disc reader and a laptop that can run directly from a power brick without a battery installed in the safe. This way the next generation has a way to read it and transfer it to modern media.
