You can say it to the C-Suite all you'd like, but Goodluck getting them to budget for anything sometimes. Spinning rust, lto tapes, etc and the software to handle them is generally considered out of budget, at least at most orgs I've worked with (despite the recommendation to practice 3-2-1). Also, you may want to further detail your advice, most storage mediums (save lto tapes) require ongoing power to prevent things like bitrot. It's quite common for hard drives for example to develop bad sectors over time, but algos running on the drives embedded firmware clean this up by repositioning bad sectors to a reserve space. Nvme/flash is even more vulnerable to this and behaves similarly.
