minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•edit-21 month agoHow? It is pretty sensitive to weather and decay. Why not tapes?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•1 month agoWell, most media is sensitive to one thing or another. I chose discs mostly because of convenience and cost per byte. I also believe I can control temperature and make copies often enough to last.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•1 month agoIf you are doing long term storage (5+ years) i’m pretty sure that tapes win on costs
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•1 month agoThanks for the suggestion, I’ll have a look at tape again and see where I end up.
