[Pasig-discuss] Arguments for keeping an onsite copy of digitally preserved/stored digital content?

[Robin Lindley Ruggaber]

Gail, 
At UVa, we are planning to keep one copy local as a level 1/2 and to serve our need to conduct cost effective fixity checks, to serve high resolution copy request orders and to use as source for creating derivatives or serve as an access copy depending on format. 

Since we will have copies for most in the cloud, we can be more flexible about local storage and copies.

I usually lean to keeping one onsite copy, but am I stuck in an old paradigm? From earlier PASIG thread (started by Tim) it's clear other institutions are keeping at least one copy on site.
