Magneto-optical disks
Magneto optical disks (MOs) have been
used for data back up for two decades. They
can have a storage capacity of up to 10 GB
of information. MO technology operates on a
combination of magnetic and optical principles.

- Guidelines on the Production and Preservation of Digital Audio Objects
International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives (IASA)
(Date Created: Aug 2004)
- These guidelines discuss key principles and standards, metadata, signal extraction from originals and target formats in the production and preservation of digital audio objects. It includes information on the reproduction of optical disk media such as CD and DVD and digital magnetic carriers. Target formats and systems include Digital Mass Storage Systems (DMSS), optical disks and magneto-optical (MO) disks.

- AES Standard for Audio Preservation and Restoration : Method for Estimating Life Expectancy of Magneto-Optical (MO) Discs Based on Effects of Temperature and Relative Humidity
Audio Engineering Society
(Last Updated: 2005)
(United States of America)
- This standard which was reaffirmed in 2005 specifies test methods for estimating the life expectancy of information stored on magneto-optical (M-O) disks. Only the effects of temperature and relative humidity on the media are considered.
