Re: [brlug-general] old tapes
Been there... I just had to write said policy about how I would destroy VMs on a storage array that makes all of the decisions itself about where blocks live. I think I said I'd physically destroy any *real* hard drives. Belt sanders, drills and target practice came to mind.

Re: [brlug-general] old tapes
Pretty sensitive data, need to destroy the data on the tapes and then dispose of the tapes. Hoping to find a company that can just take care of it (also have some zip disks, jazz disks, a box of floppies, hard drives with broken drive heads but again, sensitive data).I don’t have to magnetically destroy it, but I can’t justify my time or the guy who works for me’s time busting everything with a hammer and then taking scissors to the tape; just to much.
