In many situations a solution that allows for recovery of a
file that got deleted in error (or corrupted
best solution I see is
* backup on an external HDD (I have bough an usb<>IDE device just
for that)
* burn dvd's
CD's or DVD's are not suited well for long term storage
Wasn't that tested some years ago on TOM's H.G. ???
Much decay after five years afair.
It seems useful to distinguish backup, which is a prophylaxis against
unexpected data loss, and archiving, which is for preserving a
historical record of your files. One often need not archive nearly as
much data as one would want to be able to recover after a hardware,
software or human error.
... And conversely, one need not expect backup data to have nearly th
longevity of archival storage.
