How will people store important data in ten or twenty years? Is the eternal storage solution already a possibility?

This is also a subject constantly being discussed in the archiving industry, though without a conclusion. CD-Rs have been in use for around 15 years now and will certainly continue to be used for another couple of years. Recently, sales of DVDR exceeded those of CD-R in Europe for the first time, meaning that DVDR is likely to continue to be the most economical storage medium for the foreseeable future. In professional circles, magneto-optical media, UDO devices or tapes are also used. Data is regularly migrated, i.e. copied over to the next, most current storage generation.
As a manufacturer of storage products, we naturally conduct ongoing research into new media. Whether Blu-ray Disc, HD-DVD or holographic media will become established cannot yet be predicted.
