The lesson here is that, regardless what medium you choose, let the rated lifetime guide you in developing maintenance procedures but DO NOT depend on it; take each volume out of the vault every year or so and check it. The manufacturer will cheerfully refund your purchase price if their product fails, but how will you get your information back? Anything that absoultely MUST be readable after umpty-ump years should be replicated, all replicas tested frequently for readability, and recopied as needed. -- Mark H.
