Physical Backup for Cloud Collections

Shelf life of available media for this service (assuming it is NOT used on a regular basis, but exists mainly as backup):  M-Discs - greater than 100 years; SSD hard drives - greater than 10 years; and LTO-8 tapes - 30 years.  All are excellent backup options, used by corporations and serious-minded archivists for long term backup of important files.  

How it works:  Submittal of your order to Cintrex is a two-step process - entering the order in our online store and copying the assigned order number, and then emailing us the links to shared collections with the order number pasted in the email's subject line.  The email should be sent to order-entry@cintrexav.com. 

After order submittal:

• Email us at order-entry@cintrexav.com with the newly assigned order number in the subject line, and links to your cloud collections (Dropbox, iCloud, LightJar, etc).
  
• Make sure in your email with the shared collections that you tell us what to name each collection, and include your online store order number (from above) 
  

With receipt of your order and your emailed links to your collections, Cintrex will place a copy of all content from your downloaded collections onto the selected archive media: and ship the discs or tape to the subscriber for safekeeping.  Future retrieval of the content is possible with the appropriate media reader, an LG Blu-ray drive for the Blu-ray M-DISC, or a LTO-8 tape drive from DELL, HP, IBM, Quantum, and others.   Local area vendors will also have the appropriate media readers.  

Turnaround is 1 to 2 weeks after receipt of your order.
