What were they thinking?
OMG (in heavy valley girl slur).
I was talking with a friend last week about an it shop that sent tapes to an off-site vendor to be ‘tested’ for a possible migration. Somehow one of the tapes was lost. Who knows how - it doesn’t matter. What does matter is the test data was real data, and it was the only copy of the data.
How could they send their primary copy of data, without any backups anywhere?
Ok data protection 101. A backup is a copy of the data on separate media from the primary, preferably in a separate location. Nuff said.
