Stashing some durable storage devices in a radiation > proof safe every few days seems like a simple task. M-Discs are pretty damn durable. Write-once, read-many, and as long as you don't mechanically damage the media, they are projected to last for a thousand or more years. I understand that there's a version of them that uses a sapphire substrate instead of the normal plastic. They're likely quite scratch resistant, harder to crack (though far from impossible) and should survive higher temperatures (limit will be when the "rock" that the laser burns holes in will flow enough to distort the holes) Radiation isn't going to damage them except at pretty insane levels. They might last for a million years...
