I worked at a place where this happened(we lost irreplaceable data, however), and afterwards I kinda had to take an IT manager role, and the first item on the agenda, of course, was a "Backup AND RESTORE" strategy... Part of the strategy I drafted ensured regular restore audits of different parts of the backups, carried out by someone other than the person that did the backup(usually with that person present). Sadly it never was carried out as I had drafted it, but it was probably the best defensive measure against such a disaster... -- Derek _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
