- the consensus is that the “tipping-point” for accessing digital data is not 100 years after it is stored, but more realistically, around 10 years.
- Ten years is a more realistic time-frame to consider when planning protection for critical and unique digital information assets.
- Building on reliable storage, digital preservation adds tools to accurately identify which formats are being used, pinpoint those at risk, and reliably recycle these into newer formats that can be read.
