A standard fireproof safe will protect anything made of paper such as money, documents, and folders. A media safe will protect anything made of plastic, anything containing magnetic or digital information, photographs, or basically anything that is not made of paper. Data Safes are used primarily for DLT, LTO, and other backup tapes. If it’s not a paper product and you aren’t certain, please contact us before purchasing.
