My big issue is that optical media reliability isn’t where it needs to be for me to want to trust it for long term archival storage. Yes, some brands and media types are better than others, but it’s still enough a concern that I feel I can’t trust it in general.
- vel0city 7y agoWhat technology do you trust for long term archival storage? Magnetic and NAND media need refreshing for long term storage. I'm unaware of any kind of storage media which will last decades at a time on a shelf, other than printing it on acid-free paper with inorganic inks/dyes.
