A Greek firm is offering an online 'time capsule' that will store up
to 100GB of data for 30 years - and even the user cannot delete it. The
company Longaccess said it will securely and privately store files for
three decades, and users will not have to do anything once their data is
uploaded to the server. Users have to place their data inside an
encrypted folder on their computer, which will be uploaded to the firm's
servers.
The user is then sent a certificate with a code to
decrypt their online archive, which remains in a "dedicated space" for
30 years, 'Sky News' reported. Even the user cannot delete their data,
or update it, once it is uploaded, the firm said.
The company was
founded in Athens, Greece, by Panayotis Vryonis and has raised 173,000
pounds through crowdfunding websites. The company said the service is
aimed at those who just want to save data for the long term. By issuing
the user with a certificate the service is future-proof against changing
technology.
"We can safely assume that almost everyone will still
be able to interpret some numbers printed on paper a couple of decades
from now," the firm said on its website. "But judging from the past, our
storage media will probably be so outdated by then, that it will be
practically impossible to read today's DVDs and other storage media.
"Your
printed Archive Certificate will be there, in your drawer, even if you
accidentally delete some files from your laptop's drive, or forget to
back them up before the next OS update," it said. The price of the
service ranges from free for up to 250MB of storage, to 328 pounds for a
100GB capsule.
