Honestly I just go for redundant drives and 3-2-1 backups, I remember looking at those pioneer bluray discs when they were announced and quickly deciding it wasn't worth the cost.
Your steel plate backup system sounds intriguing though - maybe it can be used as wallpaper? "What's that on your walls?" "My wedding photos"

Will they know it's binary? Surely the dots would be so small it looks like noise unless there's an emerging pattern from file headers etc
