  Quite interesting, hadn't seen that yet, thanks!

  While we're at it though, here's another recent low-level preservation approach by the guys from the Software Preservation Society.

    In addition, I don't think this is listed on the IGDA Projects, but the MAME guys are working on low-level backups of arcade boards. They are using high-res digital images to manually backup an arcade rom (costs about $200 per chip). This is done to bypass security software that prevents traditional data backups. This is really neat as they have detailed documentation for why the techniques were chosen. In addition, it is some concrete documentation on how much it costs to accurately back up an arcade game.
