Best Answer

Microfilm is used for long term storage of your documents, if you need to keep your files for more than 7 years then microfilm is probably the best media to use. Microfilm can last up to 400 years and is readable by the eye, this means that you do not have to migrate any software so that you can read the files. A roll of microfilm can hold up to 2500 images on them.
