What is the best way to archive files for long term storage? Currently I'm using 7zip to compress and generating a 10% par file for recovery, then storing on hard drives. Just wondering if there is a better way to go about it.

How do you archive your important files?

RAR is still the best for this because it can generate multivolume archives with both a recovery record (for in-volume corruption) and recovery volumes (to replace missing or hopelessly damaged volumes) in a single step. It is proprietary, but it doesn't matter because the decoder source is available and you'll be able to compile it on any POSIX OS in the future.

Hire scribes to etch binary into stone slabs that are then sealed in pvc pipes put inside concrete tombs stored in nuclear proof bunkers.

Trying to access them whenever your system crashes is going to be a bitch but at least they'll last.

x3 zfs mirror with a hotswap spare in the zpool

then setup a timed zsnap schedule that burns to bluray or a external drive/network drive

store that zsnap in a different place in the event of theft or a fire

zfs will account for bitrot and has passive compression and native encryption for financial documents

Yeah have fun baking tape in the ovens trying to restore them

I print all my collected text files. I've got about 10 boxes of them collected over the years.

>>61691136
That is about it but 5% will suffice on modern hdd because you need to have a backup of everything on another drive.
Also you have to checksum everything and periodically check everything to avoid bit rot.

how do you deal with the mice?

In an urban area the threat is roaches, not mice.

What tape drive do you use?

Can't believe this thread is still here.

Don't suffer with vermin at all, actually. But there's woodland all around here, so they probably don't have much of a need to invade people's homes for warmth or nest-making.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
