The Australians have something that addresses this: TARDIS is a
multi-institutional collaborative venture that aims to facilitate the
archiving and sharing of raw X-ray diffraction images (collectively known as
a 'dataset') from the Australian protein crystallography community.

Subject: [ccp4bb] long term data backup
Dear All,
I wonder how people currently do their long term backups. I see DATs/DLTs
being slowly dropped off at the beamlines and most people brings their data
home in external HDs.
Anyone using blue-ray or double layer DVDs for long term backups? If so what
kind of hardware? Do you use HDs for long term storage? If so, do you do a
second copy and how do you store them?
I will try to compile the answers and relay back to the list a resume.
Thanks,
David
