PBS archive in jeopardy as 50TB stored with defunct cloud vendor faces court fight
Nine PBS is suing Iron Mountain to recover 50TB of archival material stored by the now-defunct OSS in Iron Mountain’s Denver data center. Iron Mountain says it only provides infrastructure and cannot access customer data, while OSS manages the data. A court has blocked deletion and ordered retrieval help, with Nine PBS relying on a former OSS employee and a 30-day window to coordinate access; the archive includes decades of PBS coverage and regional materials deemed irreplaceable.
