Three for the price of one:
Digital preservation overview - practical preservation planning - applying this to your repository
Recently on this list I pointed to some source materials for a repository preservation course. If this is a little too faceless for you, there is a final opportunity to join a one-day tutorial based on a module that formed the focal point of our earlier KeepIt course:
Logical and bit-stream preservation integrated digital preservation using Plato and EPrints (Full day), Vienna, Sunday, September 19, 2010
http://www.ifs.tuwien.ac.at/dp/ipres2010/tutorials.html#T3
This is part of the iPres International Conference on Preservation of Digital Objects.
I should note that our Austrian co-presenters, Andreas Rauber and Hannes Kulovits, who are also hosts for the main conference, are simply outstanding presenters, worth the admission alone, and made a big impact on our KeepIt course participants.

To explore the practical application for repositories, see our structured and fully documented KeepIt course on digital preservation tools for repository managers:

It follows that answers can range from high to low, even to nothing, providing the analysis has been thorough, the results documented and the decisions and consequences are fully understood.
