minus-squaredotslashme@infosec.pubcakelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·4 days agoActually about to reverse course on this one. As a data hoarder, bluray as cold storage seem like a sensible solution.
minus-squareMTK@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-24 days agoHow? It is pretty sensitive to weather and decay. Why not tapes?
minus-squaredotslashme@infosec.pubcakelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 days agoWell, most media is sensitive to one thing or another. I chose discs mostly because of convenience and cost per byte. I also believe I can control temperature and make copies often enough to last.

minus-squaredotslashme@infosec.pubcakelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·4 days agoThanks for the suggestion, I’ll have a look at tape again and see where I end up.
