Thousands of years is a lot of scrubs and a lot of disk replacements, though. And a solution like ZFS, properly monitored, should help make those detections and repairs happen early, with lower odds of loss.
Although honestly in a thousand year timeframe I very much doubt humanity will preserve ZFS, gzip, tar, jpeg, PNG, ASCII, today's spoken and written languages in current form, etc. Just as written material from 1000 years ago is not very accessible to most people; with the original material you need intense study before you even know what you're looking at.
