Going beyond the simple rate of introducton of new things, how much of
how things were done 10 years ago is now considered 'wrong' and

To use the example of backups, ten years ago this centred on:
Protecting data against finger trouble
Protecting data against hardware trouble
Protecting data against malicious damage
Protecting data against natural disaster
Keeping data secure when it's off-site
Recovery Time Objective
Recovery Point Objective
Retention policy
Freedom of Information requests etc.
The fact that I've backed data up to paper tape, to mag tape, to disks,
and "the cloud" doesn't change those principles.
