[cma-l] Digital Storage

[Peter Vautier]

Hi,

Does anyone have experience with data storage?

Just going through my archives of old programmes stored on an
external HD. I found some of the programmes have become corrupt, 
including one that we are still making. Talked to a tech friend
who says storing digital media is a problem. Apparently DVD's don't last 
because they are sensitive to light and other things, I suppose CD's 
have a similar problem.

External HD's seem to like mangling up your saved programmes because (I
guess) they are always saving and re-saving, adding and deleting data....

So what is a good solution for storing and archiving stuff you want to 
be preserved without having to worry about it?
