Once I open the vault, it ceases to be a vault. Oy ga-vault.

This is one of the more interesting stories I came across today, and something that I'm particularly interested in. In the wake of the Universal fire that destroyed some archival video that was in a vault on the lot, studios are starting to look into better methods of film preservation and digital data storage. Its actually a pretty important issue. I'd like to think they could start by building vaults that are fireproof. I mean, it's not much a vault if it can't protect what's inside, is it?
