Where'd you get the title from? It's just Copy That Floppy! (maybe +Imaging floppy disks for long-term preservation if it fits)

I came here just to post that link. I still have that song in my head when I hear the word "floppy".

It's easy to forget that preserving digital data often comes down to keeping aging physical media alive. Nice practical guide.
