If a plane strikes ( forget the laser beam :-) ) one of my bay,i am OK,i
still have my site B with proper data because device end comes back only
once secondary is written .
If some human/application/whatever accident erases my data , i am dead .
For these reasons i need some DR backup , and some legal rules oblige me to
have these cartridges externalised .
Bruno, you make an excellent point about remote mirrors. Some people
seem to think that this replaces backups, but the reality is that if
your data is corrupted in some way, then you just have TWO copies of the
corrupted data, not much use. There is still a place for backups and I
am glad to see you have a good solution.
