- Given the recent introduction of read/write optical drives what is the preferred
- method of long term archiving of large data sets? Can one get expect good
- shelf life from 8mm tapes? What are peoples experiences with permanent (or
- as close as possible) storage of large computer files?
-
- Thanks in advance for any replies. I'll post a summary if there is enough
- response.
