They know about the possible risks and to be somewhat safe I'll use SSDs and archive all data on M-disks, too. So you believe just about any notebook should be fine? I thought so, too, but just wanted to check. You can add that as answer if you want to. | |
| Apr 4, 2017 at 20:09 | comment | added | Mark | I don't believe there's a good solution for ten years of cold storage: hard-drive bearings will lose lubrication and freeze up, while solid-state drives will lose data. The rest of the computer will survive just fine, as long as you package it to keep dust and insects out. | |

| Apr 4, 2017 at 6:47 | comment | added | Lenniey | @Cfinley That's the problem. There are no backups, because the system "sleeps" while powered off. They have to keep the data for 10 years for legal reasons, it's not being worked with. | |
| Apr 3, 2017 at 21:20 | comment | added | Cfinley | I'm confused. This notebook has to do database backups while off? Is this only going to be turned on a few times in the next 10 years? What happens if this laptop dies before they want it to? | |
