data storage
Fagan isn’t a data pack rat. He’s simply doing his job with the tools at hand. For him, information in the moment, knowing exactly what was known and when, could prove crucial to the criminal justice process. Just having the most recent files won’t do, because some criminal cases can hinge on when something was known and by whom. Because those criminal files are always in flux, Fagan needs a storage system that can function as a time machine to retrieve not just a facsimile of the past, but the actual files and data from another time. And he needs to store those exact past experiences for more than 300 million requests per year.

猜想这里的facsimile是指复制版本，与后边的actual 相对应。

In my humble opinion, similar to the way that libraries keep old books in "microfiche" copies rather than the actual old bound cloth-and-paper copies a lot of records can be kept in "microfiche" copies, i.e. faithful reproductions of much smaller scales. In the text, Fagan does not want these miniaturized records, he wants the real thing -- "the actual files and data from another time."

模糊的过去
我的理解: this storage system will function as a time machine - 它可以以不同的方式把人们带回到过去：1. 黑白方式，就象传真，基本上是忠实地复制，但没有颜色，分辨率也不高；and 2. 完全复制过去，i.e. "but the actual files and data from another time"

过去事件的影印
我的理解是这样的：
对Fagan（看样子是个破案的）来说，光知道到目前为止发生了什么事件是不够的，因为这是二维的，而他需要的是三维信息，需要时间这条轴线。原文里提到的，一些情况在什么时候被了解到以及被谁了解到有时是对破案很重要的。所以他需要的不是一个时间轴把所有的事件信息都串起来，还有相关信息（比如谁掌握的信息），这就是所谓的"time machine " (where he can go over the sequence of things in the past)。相对而言facsimile of the past就是一个静止图像，二维的，只会告诉你都有什么资料available，而相互之间的时间关系没有了。
至于怎么翻译这个我却想不好，先凑合了一个。
