Ever wonder about how to store your message, information, file permanently? Something that is very important to you, some precious memory, picture, sound, video, even just plain messages. You want to store it forever, 10 years, 20 years, 100 years, even after you died, to pass it down to your children and grand grand grand children. How can you store something permanently? Have you thought about it? The most popular methods many people use are pendrive, SSD Hard Disk, cloud storage, multiple PCs. Some also use paper or hardcopy storage. CD, DVD, ec tera. “The optimum solution is when one stores copies in a distant location from originals, so that if a certain threat (such as theft, fire or earthquake) occurs at one location, the other will not be subject to it. Some feel the most secure practice is to store data in three distant places” [1] Yes, storing the information using the above method may last very long. But the problem is what if you lost it? A pendrive, SSD harddisk, physical storage, dvd can be lost, misplaced, stolen, after a long period of time. It can be lost during transit, damaged, stolen, move house etc. Pendrive can be faulty after sometime. “Condensation from high temperatures or high humidity can also cause the shorting of circuit board or corrosion of contacts.” [2] “recordable CD-RWs seemed to be a particularly durable and secure carrier. Optimists estimated that they would last for 20 to 30 years. However, real life has proven otherwise. Manufacturers introduced discs of variable quality on the market, some of those would not endure even one year.” [1] What about cloud storage? Drop box, Google cloud, Microsoft Cloud, they are very reliable right? Yes, but hacking always happens, it happened in the past, and it will happen in the future again. Your information stored in the cloud storage can be lost, modified, hacked, or deleted due to being inactive for many years. So it is not permanent storage. Even Apple iCloud can be hacked [3]. “However, the biggest cause of concern for Cloud storage isn’t hacked data, it’s lost data. Dropbox recently had a glitch in their sync system that left many subscribers with lost files. For those who only had their files hosted on Dropbox, there was no possible way to retrieve them.” [4] Thus this is what this project is trying to solve.
