Archaic Disc? Most companies now store data on servers and cloud is improving.

and smart companies store important mid->long term data in several different ways to ensure it's safety

Servers don't need to be online. Discs degrade and can be easily stolen. Data loss is minimal on servers due to easy file transfers.

Edit; Data encryption on disc is permanent. ( crack once ). On servers encryption can be constantly changed.
