The discussion is perhaps a little exotic, but the long-term storage of data is a very real challenge for many businesses. Today, for up to 25 years, it is most easily and best solved by tape.
If you need to keep the info, keep it on the today most available medium (cd, dvd, USB HDD, tape, whatever) and *copy* it on the next most available media asap.
It's a solution, but it doesn't scale. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
