Hello
I am seeking help, advice, information on how other local authorities have coped with permanent or long term storage of electronic data.
Basically we are going to The Record being electronic. This means we are going to have to deal with long term preservation of electronic information.
In the meantime the servers are beginning to creak and fall over and we don't have a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for endless new ones.
Some truly horrible solutions have been suggested, but I wondered if anyone anywhere had resorted to stand alone portable hard-drives for use by staff? I can see that using these, introducing a secure storage facility for them (just think a warehouse full of these to replace the paper files!), and a future proofing migration programme could work if controlled.
Thank you in advance for your contributions.
Kind regards
Eleanor
