[ RadSafe ] Electronic Record Keeping

[Joseph Preisig]

Radsafe,

     Paperless data storage is good to do, if you can at least do the
following things.  Make backup copies of all
the data weekly, or at whatever time interval is desired.  In this day and
age, Personal Computers can be inexpensive.
Think about having an active computer with stored data complete with direct
access/connectivity to the internet.  (Wifi etc.).
Think about having a second computer which is totally isolated from the
internet.  Data files do not get onto this computer unless they pass a
total bug/virus screening etc.

     The astronomer who does VLBI data analysis (CALC/SOLVE software) at
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center makes global solutions routinely and
often  does system/data backup at least once a week.  Data/file loss would
be difficult to recover from.

     Good Luck     Joe Preisig
