Thanks for the thread, Lew. Remember floppies? I have code that goes back to 1990 and want to make sure it is available. I just had to work on a 1992 program. I am updating to the new stuff, but the business rules are the same, etc.
My question is, how long can you keep stuff on an external hard drive since that is how I am saving things now. I have been backing everything up to external hard drives and swapping them out off site. Because of non-disclosure agreements with major corporations I am still reluctant to use an off line storage service. I guess they will be good until they fail. ;^) Jeff --------------- Jeff Johnson [email protected] (623) 582-0323 www.san-dc.com On 02/08/2011 01:19 PM, Lew wrote: > Just checking out the (mythical?) mandate to duplicate these babies onto new > media every x years. > Lew > > -----Original Message----- > From: "Alan Bourke"<[email protected]> > Sender: [email protected] > Date: Tue, 08 Feb 2011 18:35:41 > To:<[email protected]> > Reply-To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: VFP and Source control Thanks! > > Big organizations, they're just bullsh!t-multiplying devices. > > On Tue, 08 Feb 2011 12:09 -0600, "Ken Kixmoeller (ProFox)" > <[email protected]> wrote: >> Personally, I have found that to be the *only* way to survive in big >> organizations.
