Services - Archiving

Archiving for a lifetime, and beyond, poses specific challenges.

So you've scanned your photos, restored them, and burned them onto a CD or DVD. You think they are stored well, and you forget about them for 10 years. Then one day you put your CD into a player to show a friend, and the CD does not work. The data has been destroyed and now all of your efforts at saving your old photos was in vain.

Protect yourself by converting your CDs to new media every year.

At My Restored Photos, we will do that for you for a small yearly fee. We save your files indefinitely, but in order to ensure the data is safe, we remind you yearly about re-burning your data onto a new disc.

For just $1 per month per 750 MB CD (billed annually) we will take care of your data for you.

Here is a link to a brief article on "data rot" and reminds us that "digital media isn’t the indestructible storage option we thought it was."
