About this tag
Data archival discussions on WindowsForum.com cover Microsoft Research's Project Silica, which stores terabytes of data in borosilicate glass for ten-thousand-year timescales. The technology uses femtosecond lasers to write data as 3D voxels, offering durability and longevity for archival storage. This represents a shift in practical trade-offs for long-term data preservation, moving beyond traditional magnetic or optical media. The tag focuses on emerging archival methods and their implications for data retention.
