Creating a Cloud Backup

Multiplatform Storage in Practice

The mission of a county clerk is to ensure the long-term protection, preservation and accessibility of public and vital records. We have chosen to mix the benefits of cloud-based images for immediate customer access and secure back up with the value-add of unalterable and archival qualities that microfilm continues to provide. Our cloud-based images are routinely replicated to microfilm for long term preservation. Brazos County has a quality microfilm library of records dating back to sovereignty of the County and we are keeping that valuable library up to date going forward.
