Phoenix® DataCare 2025 Fireproof Data & Media Safe, 1.22 Cu. Ft., Key Lock

The Phoenix DataCare 2025 is a purpose-built fireproof data and media safe for organizations that need dependable protection for backup tapes, removable drives, discs, cartridges, and other heat-sensitive storage formats. It combines 1.5-hour certified media fire protection, 30-foot impact resistance, water-resistant construction, magnetic protection, and key-lock security.

Its 1.22 cu. ft. interior provides more usable storage than smaller DataCare models while remaining practical for offices, IT departments, schools, medical facilities, financial firms, government agencies, and home users. One adjustable shelf helps separate backup sets and different media formats instead of stacking everything into a single compartment. Free white-glove delivery is included where available, subject to site-access requirements.

• Water-resistant protection: Double-door construction and internal seals help protect stored media from sprinkler spray and fire-hose water exposure.
• Magnetic protection: Helps reduce exposure to magnetic interference that could affect sensitive stored media.

Choosing the Right Data & Media Safe

Media Safe vs. Standard Paper Fire Safe

Choose the Phoenix DataCare 2025 when your priority is protecting heat-sensitive digital media. Digital storage formats can be damaged at lower temperatures than paper, so a conventional paper-rated fire safe may not provide the level of protection required for backup tapes, cartridges, drives, and similar media.

Phoenix 2025 vs. Smaller DataCare Models

Choose the 2025 when you need more vertical storage room, an adjustable shelf, or space for multiple backup sets and media formats. A smaller DataCare safe may be more practical when only a limited number of tapes, discs, or cartridges need protection.

How Much Media Storage Do You Need?

The 2025 holds approximately 70 LTO tapes in cases, 60 DLT tapes, 112 CDs in cases, 208 8mm cartridges, or 378 4mm cartridges. If your backup inventory is growing or you maintain several generations of archived media, allow additional space rather than sizing the safe only for today's collection.

Digital Media vs. Paper Records

The Phoenix 2025 can physically hold paperwork, but its primary purpose is protecting digital media. If most of your protected records are paper files, a conventional fireproof safe or fireproof file cabinet may provide more usable paper-storage capacity for the investment.

Free White-Glove Delivery

Free white-glove delivery is included with the Phoenix 2025 where available. Because the safe weighs approximately 322 lbs., verify the complete delivery route and disclose all access conditions before shipment.

• Room-of-Choice Placement: The safe is moved to an approved final location when the delivery route and site conditions permit.
• Unboxing: Packaging is removed as part of qualifying white-glove service.
• Stairs: Any stair carry must be disclosed and approved before delivery. Additional fees may apply.
• Elevators and Doorways: Confirm elevator capacity, doorway widths, hallway turns, and other clearances before shipment.
• Restricted or Special Access: Limited truck access, scheduled receiving, after-hours service, or other unusual conditions may require advance review and additional charges.

Missing or inaccurate stair, elevator, doorway, truck-access, or final-placement information may result in additional freight, redelivery, return, or restocking charges. Contact Advanced Filing Concepts before ordering if you are unsure about your delivery requirements.

The Phoenix DataCare 2025 includes a 3-year parts and labor warranty and Phoenix's Free After-A-Fire Replacement coverage, subject to the manufacturer's current eligibility, documentation, exclusions, and claim requirements. Review the current Phoenix warranty terms for complete coverage details.
