Eric Van Buren,
I was interested in your comments. Like you, we also FACSnet our data to a
DEC DECstation (unix machine we use as a server). At the moment we then
archive on high capacity tapes (2.2 Gbyte). As one always worries about the
longevity of tapes, I make multiple copies. I am currently interested in
storing flow data on optical disks but can't decide whether to use WORM or
re-writable. I am interested in your experiences with either type; which
brands are you using etc?
