I am curious how people are storing acoustic data in the long term. I know bioacousticians with piles of hard drives filled with decades of acoustic data lying around. But hard drives fail over time. One study suggested that 90% of hard drives survive for three years and 80% for four years. I know of larger institutions that have server farms and climate-controlled rooms with filled with drives (swanky!). But this isn't feasible for smaller organizations or individuals. How are you all maintaining your data over time?

Long-term storage of acoustic data
