depends on how many computers you can store your best images on --
smugmug has an elaborate backup
your stuff thing... for which I am very grateful.
but I'd be shooting film as well as digital, for sure, except for the
cost... I'm glad I have my shelves of boxes of
slides and books of TX negs.... but were there a fire or flood... or
even a spilled cup of coffee now and then
they'd be gone.
Probaqbly because most film back up is 'automatic' - you take the
shot, get the image on film, have it processed and wind up with a
printed image, except if yoy shoot slides.

I shot both.. but i had big issues with proofing images for sharpness on
a light table... and viewing them projected
is nice but annoying and time consuming to set up...
I like that I can look at images on a nice LCD screen if they are color
photos, especially... nothing beats a bw
photo out of the darkroom though, that you took, developed and printed
yourself.

As far as lifetime comparisons between digital and film it's six of
one and half a dozen of the other.
At the risk of being Mafud......
The vast majority of digital images are, I expect, on non backed up
hard drives, or non backed up optical media, both of which can suffer
catastrophic failure without any indication that they are failing.
Certainly the same can happen with film, but I'll bet you a nickel
that in the hands of the average user, film is far more archival than
digital.
