For the first time in the 5yrs I've been doing TSM, someone has taken an
interest in our designated 'offsite' site. They want to change the know if
there are specific temperature and humidity requirements for the
cartridges.  I must admit to being totally clueless. Anyone out there know
what the ideal temperature & humidity levels for a tape storage room would
be?
Thanks!
