Long-term archiving

The standard retention period for research data is at least ten years [1]. This poses both organizational and technical challenges.
From an organizational point of view, it must be regulated who has responsibility and control over data when the original owner leaves FAU.
From a technical point of view, there is a need for specialized archiving systems and plans that prevent data loss. In addition, the file format is relevant, as it may no longer be supported at a later time.
