xkcd, "Digital Resource Lifespan" https://xkcd.com/1909/ Wow, Randall nailed it ! I have been wondering about the lifespan of digital formats. This is why I store our LAN backups as mirror images on hard drives. And worry about the long term viability of NTFS and the hard drives. Lynn It's so true, the actual lifespan of media is inversely proportional to its initial expected lifespan. CD-ROMs were already going bad within 2 years of archival, even though manufacturers bragged they would last 300 years! -- Sent from Giganews on Thunderbird on my Toshiba laptop |
