Re: archiving P2 cards

[mattjgerard] "I guess no one has ventured to ask, How long do we WANT to archive this stuff?"

10, 20....30 years? A while. I have stuff I shot back in 1987 that I keep around...and transferred to DVCAM from 3/4" Umatic. I found a use for it.

Hard drives...3-4 years tops for archival. Drive types and connections change so fast. SCSI, IDE, SATA...in a span of what, 10 years?

Also, how long will DVDs last? Blu_ray? No one knows? I do know that a few of my early CD burns are failing...but that was early technology. Blu_ray is early technology too...

Tape backup is the OLD Reliable...
