I agree with Bill.
A few years ago I had to look at saving health data. Some of this was
mandated to be kept literally forever as it fell under the State's Archive
Act, more had to be kept for 70 years. Also surprisingly, some was not to
be kept at all once its "operational" purpose had expired,
I truly doubt that archiving drives, servers and tapes for 25 years each
time the technology updates will let you read the tapes because the
drive and server will probably not even boot up and run.
You will have to update the data every two LTO cycles or so. LTO will
read two generations back an
Your point is well-taken. It is easy to say that LTO4 media will be
good for 30 years, but it would be crazy to put LTO4 tapes in a vault
and, even under perfect storage conditions, expect to just pull them out
and read them.
Will anybody have LTO4 drives then? No way. Even if you kept a LTO4

I like the implication, but I'm pretty sure somebody actually thought being
able to read the information would have been a good idea.

I do agree, having the tapedrives around _could_ be important. I know
of at least one environment that was able to produce the media that
stores the data, but no drives. But then again, they only had to
retain the data, not the infra to access it.

To me the problem is having the drives around and more importantly, the
interfaces to the drives. I think that probably the best bet is to plan on
"archiving" a TSM server with a drive along with the media periodically. Snap
off the last database backup, restore it on the to be archived server
Does anyone have 25 year old tape media or tape drives around?
Will you stil be able to use LTOx media in 25 years?
