Abstract
An apparatus, method, and computer readable medium for writing data on a highly indestructible material is disclosed. A laser may write data on a first side of a highly indestructible material. The data may then be marked as non-rewriteable. The data may also be written on a second side of the highly indestructible material, with the second side being opposite the first side. The highly indestructible material may comprise a stainless steel storage medium.

- writing, using the laser, the data on a second side of the highly indestructible material, wherein the second side is opposite the first side.
A method for writing data on a stainless steel band, the method comprising:
- writing, using a laser, data on a top side of the band;
- marking the data as non-rewriteable;
- and
- writing, using the laser, the data on a bottom side of the band, wherein the top side is opposite the bottom side.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having encoded thereon computer executable instructions for a computer-implemented method, comprising:
- presenting a graphical user interface that provides options for storing data to at least one of a group of temporary storage, semi-permanent storage, and permanent storage;
