For several of the latest models of machines (520/525), the writeable DVD
drive has used DVD-RAM media. We have always used the writeable DVD media
as the media used to store/archive our purged business data. As we get
more and more formal and policy driven, our policy speaks of this data as
being kept 'forever'. We all know that digital media isn't necessarily
forever...
Has anyone else here approached this question/issue of long term archival
of data on DVD? I'm doing some web research on DVD-RAM longevity and
finding alot of variability on quoted longevity and also variability of
test results trying to measure longevity.
Ours is a small scale archival set of 5-10 DVD-RAMs worth of data that
grows pretty slowly... but i'm guessing that some here may have already
dealt with such questions on a larger and more stringent scale... I also
have a PMR out to IBM to get any thoughts they may provide.
(If you're not comfortable discussing on-list, let me know and another
contact method would be fine also...)
