Ironman, our comments about brute forcing the files has to do with immediate recovery. RSA 1024 is strong. But everything secure becomes less so with discoveries and ever-increasing computing horsepower. If the files are pictures or things that only increase in value with time I'd definitely keep multiple copies in separate locations. Even though you can't read them now, in 5-10 years RSA 1024 could be a cinch to crack.
Just thought I should mention it. For me it'd be worth a few DVD sets in the hope of progress.
