<EM>&gt;Yes, it is the here today gone tomorrow fear with digital stuff that I'm most
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;worried about. I can rephotograph the stuff on conventional film and keep it
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;alive that way. I suppose that the muliple copies idea is the only way of doing
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;it safely. It was only recently that I thought about the long term issues of
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;digital archiving and its problems. I have around a hundred 10 x 8 inch sepia
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;copies from the first half of last century and they are very delicate. Sane
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;does really well in copying the sepia tone as a colour scan so I'm initially
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;going to scan them that way. Has anyone tackled a similar project?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;Thanks and I hope that this is not too much off topic, Steve.

<P>At the current costs of hard drives is it unfeasible to maintain &quot;online&quot; archives that get backed up using ordinary means? Modern magnetic tape (something like 4mm) has a very long sheld life and is very inexpensive. If copies of online data are stored off site periodically it would seem the data is almost indesctructable.
