Re comments about backup - yes I know. But what do you do when the tape is
corrupted?
Look to your backup equipment - don't assume its working until you find
out otherwise :-(((
This is a public service announcement.
The comment I'm picking this up from is made in an article in left
business review, which quotes a little known bit of the infamous memo -
hence my interest in seeing the fuller version, not the shock-horror bit
everyone loves and knows so well. The link given on the webpage doesn;t
got to
Unless you restore from a backup as a test, you really don't know if you
have a backup or not. There are three types of backup--hardware-based
backup, software-based backup, and prayer-based (Oh, God, let it be
backed up, please...).
If you don't back up and document what you have done,
I've lost it in a disk crash, and all references. For some reason searches
on the net ain't turning it up - anyone got a copy of Lawrence Summers
notorious memo on exporting pollution, lives of an India worth onl x% of
that of an American etc.? Be much appreciated if you could send it to
me
Oh dear. I'm sorry, I should have said the full text - not the notorious
cut out bit about the value of a indian compared to a yank...
There were some other pretty interesting bits in it apparently.
Thanks to those who posted me the notorious snippet anyway!
