Today, long-term data storage requires constant oversight. But researchers hope cool new technologies will change that soon.
Migrate every five years." That might sound like a guideline for dysfunctional birds, but it's actually a software setting that the National Film Board of Canada uses in its digital archiving system.
"The data has to be kept for infinity, so there has to be a migration process," says Julie Dutrisac, head of research and development for the film board in Montreal, which preserves 13,000 Canadian films. "When you get into the digital domain, you are stuck migrating."Migration, of course, means moving the material to new storage hardware, because the old hardware can't be expected to last much more than five years, or because of expected obsolescence.
hence more DBA's are required for the migration process, for its integrity and consistency has to be maintained even after the migration process. thank you for the Blog

Yeah And DBA's once again ruke this area....though depending on what kind of information needs to be migrated...u might not neeed t higher a db for simple USMT or for windows users the fmaous Win 7 WET tool used...
