Now that I have a tarabyte at home (1 trillion bytes
in box small
enough to palm), I should set up an external SCSI box and check my
backup tapes from a few years back. I have CD backups from that era
as well (and copies of copies of it all), so I'm not worried about one
(?!?) bad tape ruining my day, but I should take advantage of the
equipment on hand to see what reads and migrate the contents to newer
media.
This is something that worries me a lot! I have lots and lots of
irreplaceable content and don't want to see it vanish. What can I TRUST
today for some two terabytes of data? Please, cheap options, I still cannot
afford a DLT :o)
