thejerg

I went and saw it at the Arapahoe Crossing Chinese theater the next day for the same reason.

I was debating with a friend awhile back and he was concerned that we store so much vital information digitally.

With everything shifting to digital formats, especially backups, what precautions are being taken to prevent data loss in the case of an extreme solar storm or EMP for example?

I think he was more specifically concerned with the idea of some sort of permanent data loss. Wiped drives and such. Are there shielding techniques that you know of that are commonly used to protect these backups?
