Data archiving and preservation
•The equal
absolutely identical copies of data archives must be located on diverse media in diverse places (even in the diverse buildings)
•Periodical transfer
to new media is required
•Old media and old
media drives must not be lost
•Currently RIHMI-WDC
collection is transferred from obsolete
9-track tape media to new tape library media (SuperDLT tapes)
•The total amount of
9-track tapes is about 60,000
•Such transfer is
not a simple one-moment action
