ACK. I'm wondering why this argument comes so late - I was just about writing the same as I've seen your mail :) It would be enough, regularily burning not yet archived tarballs on an CD and collecting them in some box where they can be catched if someone requests it. This should be done by several people, so in case of disk errors, fire, dead, etc we always have some archive.
