<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BMoscato, post: 1341602, member: 29978&quot;]I&#039;m a computer guy by trade and deal with this issue for clients when it comes to onsite data storage. Here is something that I just sent to a client, obviously change out media to coins. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Most companies rely upon an onsite fireproof or fire resistant safe/cabinet for storing backup media and documents; the issue with this is that most safes are designed solely for document storage, not data storage.</p><p><br /></p><p>• Document safes are designed to maintain an internal temperature no greater than 177 °C (351 °F) while in a constantly heated environment in excess of 1,000 °C (1,830 °F).</p><p>• Data safes are designed to maintain an internal temperature no greater than 55 °C (131 °F) while in a constantly heated environment in excess of 1,000 °C (1,830 °F).</p><p><br /></p><p><i>*These tests are based on 30 minutes exposure to the above temperatures. The longer period of time that a safe is exposed to fire, hotter the inside of the safe becomes.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>If we’re looking at storing data then we should look at getting a Media Cooler in conjunction with a fire resistant cabinet. A media Cooler is a great addition to any fireproof filing cabinet. When used in conjunction with any 350°F -1hr UL rated filing cabinet or safe it is certified to 125°F making it safe for all types of computer media. The compact design is also theft resistant and fits right inside your existing fireproof filing cabinet.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>*It is recommended to store backup media offsite so that in an event of a disaster the backup media is not at the same location as the business hardware, thus giving another layer of protection.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>**Not all safes are water tight and can take on water from fire hoses which will damage documents or items stored inside. It is recommended to store items in dry bags or sealed plastic containers.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>***</i><i>The average fire burns for 20 minutes at 800 degrees F</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
