- Your data preserved! Long-term archiving of data
With digital archiving, data is stored in a highly secure and sustainable manner so that it is preserved and accessible for years or even decades. This is especially important for research and administrative data, which often must be retained for an extended period of time for legal reasons or for further reference in future research.
The URZ provides a powerful service for the reliable archiving of data, including on a larger scale and for a longer period of time. Data can be stored there for archiving purposes using the IBM Spectrum Protect (ISP) software. ISP is available for all common operating systems and can be downloaded via the link below.
