Can't recall the links, but various times I'd heard or readed that the better way to conserve movies is done on films, as it requires a low temperature and might last centuries; otherwise for the ones that keeps archives and has to maintain the data on hard disk/ssd cells, that way is more prone to degradation, as them has to have an electric field maintained, and any time a backup is done, some degradation might occur (this was yet mentioned).
Several 4k "redeemings" are nowadays done from the old film too (and there are critics about the colour conversions, also).
