OT: 'Disaster Recovery' ( But figure you techies would like )

[A. Paterson]

My disaster recovery this morning -- peice together the bits of last night's
DLT 40/80 tape at the bottom of the stairs which I dropped at the top.

Hope noone is looking for a file restore from yesterday..!

Oh well, the weather is supposed to be really good for tomorrow so I hope
your all gearing up for it.

Opps! Still as long as you have time to get anyone backup in you'll be
ok.

Snapshots - it's the way forward for this sort of stuff with tapes
only for the longer term recoverys.

Note to self: don't try this at home. LTO2 tapes are Seriously Expensive

Buy more of them - we've just bought 100. And the price is coming down
very fast.

Dunno. How much data do you have to worry about?

I once transferred the tape from a broken VCR cassette to another.
Incredibly fiddly but it worked.
