CDs, harddrive, Raid or other? How do want to retrieve the pages? I can't make a specific recommendateion without it. but one company that I/m aware of that may be able to help you is: Compulink which makes a product called LaserFiche. Many municipalities use it to store amd retrieve documemts. Compulink has a website but I can't remember it. Suggestion: Whoever you choose, be sure to have a trial period at ;east 60 days to be sure this is what you want. You are right, it is not cheap! Good luck in your search!
