I am responsibile for maintaining the archives of a national charity but am not an archivist by training. Up until now, the organisation has kept an archive of paper records. We are now setting up a network and most of our records will be kept in electronic format only. I am unsure at this stage how best to ensure that important records are preserved in the future. Can anyone give me any advice? Do you recommend taking a backup of the whole network at a regular interval and if so how often, or is it better to set up a programme to backup and store selected records? Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
