the world, there is concern about the lack of technologies that are really suitable for long-term preservation of digital data . Magnetic media are short-lived and are best used only for backups, whereas the cloud is inappropriate because of security and privacy problems for this purpose. 5% [1] of the digital data in the world must be archived well over the long term.

“It was our goal, valuable digital data archive safe and accessible for 500 years. In this context, it is imperative to ensure that the data can not be modified or deleted, “says Rune Bjerkestrand, Managing Director of Piql AS. A legitimate data preservation solution must be independent of the availability of specific technologies or vendors also ensure future access

Photosensitive film is used as a storage medium for decades -. Archives (microfilm) and of the major film studios in example Hollywood. The use, however, so far limited to the preservation of analogue images. Piqls technology allows the preservation of digital data on high-resolution film. The data is written to a storage medium with proven long-term properties and stored offline in physical form. The data are still fully searchable as on other digital storage technologies. Instructions for retrieving the data in the future are written in the form of a readable text on the film.
