Default Where is source code kept?

In safes? Under pillows?

I've been thinking about the NES re-releases on the GBA lately and was wondering: where did they keep the source code for 20 years? Did they print it all out? Or on 5.25" back then and burnt it to CD some years ago?

It's generally archived on Tape.

There are companies that specialise in storing it.

Heh well in the case of the NES it was all written in assembly anyways :P

Though those comments could definately be handy though.
