After going down a rabbit hole of reviewing my general security (more security of myself forgetting my seeds etc rather than being hacked) I was wondering if anyone had any tips for long term cold backups?I've seen steel solutions that can get pretty pricey - how likely is it for a USB drive to fail over a 5 year period, or are SD cards less prone to failure?Looking at backup up various seeds (I've had a few over the years I want to keep track of - I've just been stung losing an old 12 word that still had funds!) so wanting a long term solution that can keep more than one seed phrase.Possibly backing up seeds on 2 or 3 USD drives, 2 offsite - 1 with me.Is it best to have seeds/private keys on say, a .txt?Then would you encrypt this - and if it is encrypted can you always decrypt even if the software used to encrypt is no longer supported?I use a hardware wallet with a second offsite day to day - just looking at protecting myself in a worst case (like if I lose the first and somebody managed to wipe the offsite)
