If an event happens so catastrophic as to wipe out all global copies of the blockchain, I assure you a BTC balance will be the LEAST of your worries. Play some Fallout for reference.

This. Bitcoin won't matter if we get knocked back into the the dark age.

You would have to repeat the backup process for that every day, to have a updated version of the Blockchain. Why not rather build your own Faraday cage, and be protected from those pesky EMP's? Here is a link to start you on your journey to a EMP free zone, http://www.thesurvivalistblog.net/build-your-own-faraday-cage-heres-how/

I guess there are loads of them out there and some government and private companies have invested in this already.

I prefer evolution to revolution.

Sorry for the alarming headline.

Google reports a single result for "hardcopy of the blockchain". So I figured we might find such a phrase useful. I have looked a little into the possibility that all copies of the blockchain could be destroyed by an EMP (very unlikely, it seems), or by a solar flare (more likely, but still seems remote).

Would there be a few heroes who could produce tens of GBs of data with the special properties of the blockchain that make it uniquely identifiable in the event such a catastrophe occurred? Do I want to be one of them? Sure, why not. I need like 10 DVDs and a day or three to burn them.

Honestly, though, I was hoping for some replies that say "Check out [link]" where such an effort is already being undertaken.
