Keep several backup copies. HDD plus SSD and keep one drive in some remote place. Or SSD plus cloud like Backblaze B2. Overall, follow the 3-2-1 backup rule: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/the-3-2-1-backup-strategy/

Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time ™ ).
