It may not help very many people, but for anyone who already has a fire safe at home (not data grade), there are media cooler units (schwab makes the one that I found) that you can put inside, I recently discovered. I've been using my fireproof gun safe to store my backup media, hoping that by putting the media on the bottom, it might survive the internal temperatures of the safe in a fire. However, with a media storage unit inside my safe (~$300, capacity for ~10 LTO carts) I could also store media safely. Apparently, these can also fit into fireproof file cabinets that aren't data grade--something you might be able to pick up used. -se -se ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
