File Vault

1.17 - A Day, A Photo

1.17 - File Vault

This is only a partial view of our massive file footage archive. This vault contains beta tapes, XD discs, and old film converted onto DVDs. I rarely go into this room these days, but sometimes I go in and wonder, "What happens when the server crashes?"

You see, the station no longer archives a hard copy. This is a growing trend in the media industry, and I would hate to see the day any station loses all its digital archive. I'm not going to knock the server based archive. It is much easier to search and find file footage than this older system. I only fear that one day it may all disappear
