Media Safes

Special media safes are designed to protect valuable computer backup data from damage due to fire and water.  They carry a special media safe rating.  For example, a 1-hour fireproof rated media safe has been tested to meet certain standards.  The media safe has been subjected to a 350 degree F fire for a period of 1 hour, and the temperature inside the safe did not rise above 80 degrees F.

In addition, the humidity was measured during the test in which water was used to put the fire out, and the humidity remained at a safe level for delicate computer backup media.  Media safes come in a variety of sizes and shapes with a variety of interior arrangements designed to organize popular types of computer backup media.  So if you’re not using a special media safe to keep your computer backup data safe, think about the amount of time and labor involved in replacing all that data.  For more information on media safes.

Fireproof Media Safes

Chances are, if you lost your home or business computer backup media (tapes, CDs, DVDs, floppies) in a fire, it would cost you a lot of time and money to replace the data.  In fact some of your data might be impossible to replace.  So investing in a good quality fireproof media safe is a good idea.  Fireproof media safes are designed to endure a fire and leave the computer backup media in a state where it can still be accessed.  These safes carry a fireproof rating, usually expressed in hours.  An example would be a 1 hour fireproof media rating.

This means that the safe has been subjected to a 1700 degree F fire (the typical temperature of a home or business fire)  for a period of one hour, and the temperature in the safe did not rise above 80 degrees F.  Also, they are tested to ensure that the humidity does not rise above 80% when flooded with water.  This is to protect the media from the harmful effects of the water used to put out the fire.  Fireproof media safes are constructed with special insulating materials in the walls, and have special heat and water  seals around the door that expand as the temperature rises.   Now would be a good time to make sure that your valuable comuter backup data is safe from a fire.   For more information on fireproof media safes.

home fire

My parent’s house burned down last year. They lost everything, and they had no fire insurance. It was so sad; my Mom didn’t even have time to grab her treasured family photographs, let alone any keepsakes or antiques. When I arrived at my parent’s house the night of the fire all Mom would say was “all your baby pictures are in there.” Dad was patting her back and trying to console her, but I could tell he was just as upset.Mom and Dad are renting an apartment now, and are slowly recovering from the disaster. At least they have their Pomeranian “Pickles” to keep cheer them up. I hate to say it, but the apartment never feels like home to me. There are no family photos on the wall, nor is there my great aunt’s collection of antique salt shakers lined neatly on shelves.

I know I couldn’t have prevented the fire, but I do wish I would have instructed my parents on how to save important documents, files, pictures and jewelry. If I would have only suggested they invest in a fireproof media safe to store all of their keepsakes, maybe Mom would still be able to fondly look at her wedding pictures. It’s too late now. I bought a fireproof media safe for my family last month. Even if I lose my house to a fire, I feel comforted that I won’t lose my history.
