Our company is coming up on 20 years of AutoCAD files in the archive (presently a mixed congoleration of CD-R's, DATs, and [gasp!] floppies).

Do any of you good souls have recommendations for a Permanent Offsite Storage solution? i.e. Is there a company that provides permanent archive where we can leave our files and not worry about backups, media obsoletion, etc.? I googled all over the damn place and can't seem to find anyone serious that would be around in another 20 years.

Thanks in advance,

James

Put *everything* on good quality CD-Rs. Make at least two copies; keep one on-site in a fire resistant safe, and the other in a bank safe deposit box. ___
