Good point. There may still be a good case for holding records in more
than one format. In my past pharma days we kept some critical records in
electronic format for ease of access, in paper for regulatory review and
short term business requirements and in microform for long term disaster
recovery. All a question of cost versus value.

<This fire obviously highlights one of the benefits of keeping
electronic records as opposed to physical records. Electronic records
can be copied and held in two (or more) entirely separate places.>
And so, of course, can microfilm.
