I am looking for a word like "posterity". I was going to use it but it feels like too long into the future. I looked up the definition for posterity and got:
succeeding or future generations collectively:
I don't need for future generations, but rather for keeping for the next few years (5-10 years)?
I'm looking for an alternative that fits in place of the word posterity, because that's nice an concise. I thought of "for record keeping purposes" instead of "for posterity" but that doesn't feel as concise. Is there a word that I could use instead?
Here's my example sentence:
"I've also attached the binary to this email for _ "
