Not to toot our own horn too much, but CHESS has been ahead of the curve on this for at least 30 years. As an academic facility, we simply take our limitless supply of graduate students, wipe their memory, upload what we need, and lock them in dimly-lit facilities. No freezing in liquid nitrogen necessary, and all they require for subsistence are cheap coffee and free pizza. 

To date, nobody has noticed.

Dear colleagues,
We all are very happy about the storage of raw crystallographic datasets. But, is it really enough? No! Can we do better? Yes, of course!
The problem is that the crystal after the measurement is usually burned. It does not make sense to store them any more. But, in order to maximize reproducibility and increase the reliability of all our results, the committee of the Czech and Slovak Crystallographic Association has decided to force our researchers to back up the whole experimental station (including synchrotrons and their storage rings) after each crystal, each use. Storage of synchrotrons under liquid nitrogen is welcomed, but not necessary, yet. For the next decade, in-house storage of complete XFELs is expected (EU project Horizon 2030, proposal EC.2030.14.1.CZ.004).
Best regards,
Petr
