File storage blockchains address this problem. You basically pay an ever-changing group of people to save your (possibly encrypted) file. When there are too few copies of the file available for download, the reward for seeding it increases.

However, this assumes at least occasional global funding to survive competition. And they would never make a moon backup because the market would place no value on its discovery.
