Storing harvested lager yeast

[Kershner_Ale]

What's the longest you've stored lager yeast that you harvested from a yeast cake and had it remain viable? I brewed an Oktoberfest and washed the yeast. Have it in the fridge now in mason jars. Probably need to brew another lager before I have a big enough pitch for a big Doppelbock. I'll activate the yeast with a started before using it. Just thought I heard once lager yeast doesn't remain viable as long as ale yeast.
