The thing that gets me about our DR, is that all of our tapes are at Iron Mountain. We are in N. Richland Hills, TX and our tapes are in Lewisville, TX which is the same geographical location (infrastructure). So if we are physically destroyed (we're close to DFW airport), then our tapes may well be in a secure area, but cannot necessarily be loaded onto a plane to go to our DR site in Philly. We even duplex so that if "a plane goes down" we can use the duplex. But it all depends on the tapes being able to be shipped.

I have a nephew, a photojournalist, in Dallas.

We always kept a seond set of backups onsite, so if Iron Mountain or our airports, here in Chicago, were unusable, we could at least TRY to get a valid set to our DR site.
