Backup Onto M-Discs With “Up to 1,000 Years” of Data Retention

No one can dispute the importance of backing up data on a regular basis. And while some files are live documents that need to change and get revised constantly, other files such as priceless pictures, videos, medical records and completed documents can be backed up once and for all and stored in a safe place for later review.

Until recently, external backup devices, such as flash drives, DVDs and external HDDs were only able to safely hold backed up data for up to 8 years. Beyond that time, backed up files may become corrupted or the devices could cease to function, rendering data irretrievable and lost forever. This presented a problem for those who wanted, or needed, the ability to backup important data for a longer period of time. Important documents, photos, videos, financial and medical records will be needed well into the future. Once written, files can be readable with all current DVD drives.

However, the Cirrus 1200 by Advatronix Systems LLC offers the ability to directly backup your data onto M-DISCs from Millenniata that sport data retention of up to 1,000 years. The M-DISC is a permanent storage technology that comes in a disc form, that is resistant to light, temperature and humidity and that can be accessed from any standard DVD player.

The company designs and assembles its servers in the United States of America.
