Re: Archiving Strategies



Thank you everyone for your input. Lots to ponder over.

There are many here using tape.

I started using tape in the late 80's with those tapes that looked like audio cassettes, and progressed with technology as it developed and finally gave it up 5 years ago. Every single time a tape drive would fail, the replacement drive would not read the media written with the old drive. I also experienced many times tapes being unreadable even by the same drive that wrote to it. The tapes would decay just sitting on the shelf.

I have written off tape for life, excuse the pun! : )

My customers would certainly reject tape based on the fact there are not visual cataloging options like Portfolio or iView MediaPro for tape.

I am really optimistic about Blue-ray. If/when the prices of the discs drops to under $10.00 per 25 gigs I may be jumping on that train to who knows where!
