Backup the stuff you can never replace to a removable medium and remove
it off site. If not off-site, then get a fire safe rated for magnetic
media and store it with the door locked. If my backup-tapes had been in
my large safe, they probably would have survived the E-field intact.
They were effectively bulk erased. It would have taken about 1/4" of
good conductivity metal (copper, aluminum, gold, etc) to dissipate the
E-field I got hit with. For iron or steel, it would take nearly double
the thickness.
