Long term (offline) storage of data.
For us, long term is 10 - 15 years.
I'm using DDS as a backup medium now, and I use this (at the moment) for long term storage, but as far as I know magnetisme is used to put the data on the tape. Will this information last for 10 - 15 years on the tape ?
Will we be abel to buy a DDS-tape-reader in 10 - 15 years ?
Share your knowledge..
Thanks,
Chris MARREEL

Re: Long term (offline) storage of data.
What other media is better to use ?
CD ?
Has anybody experience with CD-ROM media as long term storage ? Any opinions ?

Re: Long term (offline) storage of data.
There is another aspect of this that must be considered and this applies to whatever medium that one chooses. That is the availability of hardware/software to read that media. It does very little good to have media with lives measured in tens of years when the technology or recording format is constantly changing and where 5 years is a very long time. I can tell you the best way to deal with this issue is to periodically import your data from offsite storage and transfer it to your current technology and then send both the original and the newer copy offsite.
Food for thought, Clay

Re: Long term (offline) storage of data.
if you have to store your backup data for a very long time, you told us about 10-15 years, there are two mechanisms which you should combine: First you should take medias which can store data for a long time "relatively" sure. In these days CD-ROMs seem best here, they provide data "lifetime" of round about 7 years. ( Can be longer of course, but it's going to be not safe then... ) And you also could do a backup of your backups temporarily. So you could store your backup and the copies. Before doing backups of your copies try to find out if the media is allready poor, or if the quality is good so far...
Allways stay on the bright side of life!
