This IS the Avid L2: RE: [Avid-L2] Re: what are yall using to archive

What is on your wish list that the vendors have not provided?

And did you mean archiving or backup? They are different beasts. Is a
post house really in the business of archiving? Do you have customers
who will pay you for that?

Every year we hold a PreNAB Editors' Lounge panel. (this will be our
10th year) we have a panel that prognosticates, kvetches, wishes for new
things, etc. And for at least the last 5 years, one of the main subjects
that comes up has been archiving. And every year we all agree that there
isn't an ideal solution in place yet. I anticipate the same this year.

How can such a potentially huge market go so unanswered?
