Have you heard of cases where a CF card was lost in the sea and somebody found it, and it still worked?
They should make it way more clear that CD media (at least the one produced 10 years ago) should never, ever be used as archival media.

No but I once accidentally washed a USB stick in a washing machine. Put it on a radiator for the night and it worked fine in the morning.

I guess that as long as you do a read-from-old-medium-write-in-new-medium every 10 years it doesn't really matter. Just have to remember to set an alarm for every 10 years
