*SMers..

In the very near future I will need to put together a software and
hardware
proposal for data retention  of approximately 50 years due to FDA
regulations encompassing the medical industry.

My main question would be the type of media to use currently that has
any
kind of magneto retention life-span nearing or surpassing this.

If there are any *SM colleagues out there that are in this situation, I
would really appreciate either some feedback on this board, some direct
feedback via email or even a discussion over the phone.

I thank you all in advance.
