@apicultor @alterelefant @Heidi Again, that's the minimum spec.

• Most flash will retain data longer, and also 101 weeks is almost two years and I think that any decent #backup system should've turned around said Flash by then at least once.

#VerifyYourBackups and #TestYourBackups applies to EVERY MEDIA...

• I'd also not blindly trust on the 20+ year lifetime claims for #LTO #tapes..

And if you want to see #flash rated for #archival use, there are already such disks as part of #Tandberg's #RDX lineup - which is basically an overpriced proprietary HDD & SSD cartridge system.

@vkc

> Test your backups.

This sentence is worth a bot tooting it at least once a day.
