When the CD at the beginning of the 1980s replaced the vinyl record, the industry believed he had found a storage medium for eternity. Today his that know themselves as smoke and mirrors: German music archive registered, that is the oldest copies begin to decomposed. Therefore, the CD has not to prolong the life of a recording over the 200 years of a record, but drastically reduced to one-sixth. Thus, the durability of the silver disc is equal to the the tape that demagnetized for approximately 30 years. The same applies to video tape and DVD after all: private collectors who build their own music or film archive are hardly noticed the gradual loss of quality of the discs.

This hochproffesionelle version of the backup is a three-digit amount per migrated disc however. Culture archive reflect already on the good old microfilm back but in a contemporary variant: it no longer comes to scan up the originals. Rather, documents, pages and images, such as currently are usual, compressed to a digital record; a laser writes it directly to the film. He is recorded as airtight as a master tape and protected from light; Copies are considered for use. The downside: The archive-laser procedure needs a laser unit.

The user in the printing can later print variable data, such as the expiration date, batch, or price. Mitchel Resnick is often mentioned in discussions such as these. The technology of radio frequency identification, RFID short, makes multifunctional label and additionally supports this backup procedure. Electronic chips under the label, called transponders, save the details of the product and can be read without visual contact by radio. The entire supply chain of goods can thus be traced back. Before the dealer accepts the goods, he can check on the basis of the product codes stored in the database, whether it was actually produced by the manufacturer”, Badr said.
