Should I combine a fireproof cabinet with digital records storage?

Yes — combining fireproof physical storage with digital backup provides the strongest document preservation strategy. Digitize critical documents and store encrypted backups offsite or in cloud storage, while keeping originals in a fireproof cabinet. If a fire destroys the physical documents despite the cabinet (e.g., prolonged fire exceeding the rating duration), digital backups provide recovery. If digital systems fail, the physical originals are protected. OfficeFurniture2go.com stocks fireproof filing solutions — call 1-800-460-0858.
