Data rot is something that has somehow lost the limelight for quite some time now.

 

Previously, it was most famous as laser-rot. Laser-rot was a phenomenon related to Laser Disc (LD) pressings.

 

In general terms, data rot is a recording of any kind that goes bad. 

 

Think about the last time you recorded some music you bought from an online store? You downloaded the tunes, copied those to a disc and took it in the car with you. You were really happy because not only were they the songs you wanted, they were on a disc! That means they're yours forever... ummm... doesn't it?

Lately, I've been talking with some IT gurus and some other normal people about data integrity for long term storage. There's talk about a 'catastrophe' in '2012' but chances are it's likely to be just as big as the Millenium Bug - nada, nothing, zip - unless your mission critical software is based on the Mayan Calendar.

So, I'm going to keep it light and breezy at the beginning and then get into the nerdy stuff a bit later in the article so that your eyes won't glaze over too soon. 

 

Almost everything we do these days is digital: financial, medical, communication, family photos and videos. The media they're stored on is either optical, magnetic or silicon. Each of these is flawed for archival purposes - some more than others.
