Ask HN: Moving archived files to other media

3 points by jsgrahamus52 15y ago ↗ HN

I work in the medical IT field and on a regular basis paper or online information is moved to another media - microfiche, CD jukebox, or other.

I would be interested in knowing what methods are used or preferred, particularly for small businesses.

Thanks, Steve

Like with backup, the problem isn't how you store the data, but how you retrieve it.

I'd flip the problem - think about how you're going to want to use the data in the future, then work to a solution that meets that goal.
