Not tape. Tape is a meme and only lasts 5 years or so. Plus you can loose all your data if you drop it.

For now assuming you don't want to pay for cloud storage, you should probably use tapes and store them in a faraday cage. Then move to these glass pogs when it's available.

Tape is shit and lasts no longer than a hdd

Fuck off with your tape meme. If Pixar with their hundreds of millions cant do it, you sure as fuck won't be able to. Even the IRS cant keep your records for over 6 years because of this.

Tape wears out if you read from it a lot or truck it around all the time. If you write some data and then store it like you're supposed to do with tape, it will last much longer than hard disks.

>>57672711
What show is this?

>>57681067

That just looks like a research proposal into how Pixar manages their data to me. I read it and I don't see any results or anything saying that tape is bad and another method is better. It just says he has clearance to go in and look at their stuff so he plans on doing it at some point.

>>57681204
You obviously didn't read it

>>57681219

It says that companies have to migrate their data to keep up with industry standards that constantly change and the writer wants to go into Pixar and see what technology they're using to keep up. It says on the cover page that it's asking for a grant.

Please tell me what your interpretation is because I feel like we're looking at two different documents here.

>>57681345
It said pixar went back had to re-render finding nemo because tapes suck. It said the industry really doesn't know how to preserve digital data. My favorite part was when i found out that you can completely fuck up a tape by dropping it 12 inches.

you guys are all idiots. the only way to really back up data is by hammering indentation into a rock for each set bit. the only thing that will mess us your "backup" is erosion. unless you are a idiot the rock shouldn't break. honestly why do people not think about things like this. i wonder if you give someone a rock with set bits for illegal content, would they get in trouble? maybe in the future police officers will plant rocks in your car and detain you cause the rock actually has the data for illegal content. wow maybe this isn't such a ethical idea.
