The Devil’s Hole Pupfish Project emphasizes the importance of robust data management infrastructure. Effective maintenance of digital files hinges on the proper management of evolving hardware and software. This workshop addresses the challenges of technology upgrades every 1-5 years and presents strategies to securely store and back up data. Learn about recognized depositories and repositories while balancing the costs and benefits of technology to ensure ongoing oversight and adherence to standards set by agencies like the National Park Service and the Department of Interior.

DEVA Data Management WorkshopDevil’s Hole Pupfish Project Infrastructure(hardware) Effective maintenance of digital files depends on the proper management of a continuously changing infrastructure of hardware, software, file formats, and storage media. Major changes in hardware can be expected every 1-2 years and in software every 1-5 years (Vogt-O'Connor 2000).
