Title: Re: Archiving Strategies
We keep all of our jobs on an X-Raid with almost 6TB of storage. A job is kept live for 3 years and then client is notified that their job will be purged. This notification serves two purposes, one is to give the client the option of having their job burned to DVD and sent to them (which for some reason they rarely want us to), and second to give the sales person another reason to make contact. This system is managed through FileMaker and has worked very well.

I am writing this to discover what methods people are using for
archiving data. Several of my customers (and myself) have piles of
data usually over 100 GB that needs to be archived to make room for
the next pile of data.
I have been using DVD and iView MediaPro with much success. However,
burning so many DVD discs is quite the chore. The more effort
archiving is, the less likely it is to be done in the first place.
Hard drives at first seem like a good way to go, but they are rather
fragile and do fail too often regardless of abuse. I don't trust them
for long term archiving.
Has anyone tried the newer DVD-RAM technologies? What else do people do?
Any feedback is very much appreciated!
