Media might be guaranteed for 20-30 years. But not the content. If anything goes wrong, you get your money back for the tapes. But not your data. Have quite a reasonable amount of DDS2-tapes, and some time ago decided to use those again (some were used, other brand new) Writing to them isn't such a problem, only thing you need is patience. Ofcource, I wrote them back to an empty dir, and checked the hashes: all fine. Alas, one year later most of them could not be read back anymore. Not even on the tape-unit I used for writing.. Ergo, never put your trust on a single instance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
