Hi there,

Just wanted to try to clear up a misconception that I think people may have about storage space relating to 2257Safe. Many people I believe are thinking, "I have a 100GB, 200GB or 500GB site... how can I possibly afford to mirror that?"

The reality is that the content size and quality required for record keeping purposes is totally different than what is required for paying consumers. An HD video for paying consumers which might have a footprint of 640x480 or 720x360 at 25 or 30 fps is overkill for record keeping purposes. When you push that file up for your records, it will be converted down to approximately 320x240 or even 240x180 at 15 fps with a low to medium compression scheme which will reduce the overall storage size of that piece of content dramatically, making a 100MB file turn into a 10MB file for record keeping purposes. High quality photos will behave in the same manner. Also, 2257Safe's interface will guide you through the process of uploading so that you are only uploading and storing what is necessary, not other non-related fluff and redundant files, etc.

I think once we can educate the public of this concept then the concern over storage space required to handle your records will be allayed.
