Spanish term

registro magnético computacional

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Computers: Software
This appears to refer to some kind of electronic record, but I am in need of a more precise term.

"XXX deberá informar a las sociedades el detalle del pago de las primas mensuales recaudadas por medio de un registro magnético computacional que dé cuenta del detalle de los asegurados pagados."

Your help is appreciated!

digital record

Nowadays, IMHO the sentence would read something like this "“XXX shall inform the companies of the details of the payment of the monthly premiums collected by means of a digital record with the accounting details of the insured persons paid.\"

A digital record or electronic record.

computerized record on magnetic media

Magnetic media refers to floppy disks probably. However those are no longer available. The only magnetic device still being used is the hard drive and they are quickly being replaced by solid state hard drives.

Tape backups are also magnetic based and are still used.
