Common digital preservation pitfall: giving access to the preserved master copy. Preserve one version 🛡️ Provide access through another 🌐 Same source, different purpose — one protects, the other serves.

Communities can unite to safeguard at-risk scholarship. Come on a journey with us to find out more about what's happening and how you can help... When? October 30th 10:00 AM EST Register here: stanford.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Analogy • Cloud Backup: A spare tire – quick recovery when something goes wrong. • Long-Term Preservation: A library, museum, or archive – safeguarding value for the future.

Compliance & Governance • Cloud Backup: Supports operational recovery, but not long-term compliance. • Long-Term Preservation: Meets regulatory, archival, and legal obligations.

Format & Accessibility • Cloud Backup: Stores files as-is; risk of obsolescence. • Long-Term Preservation: Migrates to sustainable formats, ensures long-term usability.

Data Integrity & Authenticity • Cloud Backup: Guarantees working copies; limited authenticity controls. • Long-Term Preservation: Provides fixity checks, audit trails, and evidential trustworthiness.

Time Horizon • Cloud Backup: Retention in days, weeks, or months. • Long-Term Preservation: Retention in decades, actively managed.

How do I explain to my IT Director the difference between long-term digital preservation and a cloud backup? We get asked this question a lot!
