Permanent Data Storage?

Jan 07, 2004 6 Replies

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. ___

Does anyone else use DVD's as I do. Can put 4.5 mgs on them.

I do! (but I get 4.5GIGs on mine ;- > )
