Every microwave I've ever taken apart has a fairly significant
step up transformer in it. (Granted, I've not disassembled a new
one in the last couple of years.)
I suspect said transformer tosses out a fairly sizeable magnetic field.
I am (of course) presuming your not putting the media in
the microwave and cooking it. I'm also assuming your
concern is the data contained on the media. :-)

Can magnetic media setting in proximity to a microwave be affected by the
microwaves or anything else in the oven (the magnetron for instance)?
