That would work for monochrome.

But for color the least expensive route appears to be the color separations on B&W film.

I agree that losing most of what we shoot is not a bad thing. Every five years or so I go through my work and discard about 90% of it.




However, if I were going to archive important work that was captured on digital I would not do so on Ektachrome since the dyes are not permanent. It would be much better to make color separations on B&W pan film. You could capture more detail than is in most digital  prints with 120 or 220 film and 6X7 or 6X9 format.
