What lesson can we learn from the fire on Headquarter
of Credit Lyonnais, Paris ?  All equipment are gone,
but thanks god (i.e. the system administrators :-)
they have remote backup for all data.  They can
resume business almost immediately.

How about our own backup ? I know many organizations
in Hong Kong (apart from those using Mainframes) have
a rather optimistic backup policy:  they put they
backup tape in the cabinets in the same offices, but
not in remote sites.

These backup policies can withstand system crashes
but not fires which are _not_ that unlikely.

The data in our servers are not less important to
us than the customers account data to Credit Lyonnais.
