RE: the whoops! and off site tape storage

Walden,

I was kidding about the risks ;) TIC

Wow - you have it in writing too, we never 
went that far - though I am sure we should spell
out our disaster recover plan - mostly in our heads - 
but tested and worked fine for us. 

But in the last six years, we have only had two fire drills,
and one live one - in all three cases, one of us remembered the box.

I do hope we each have enough intelligence to not run back into
a burning building for tapes.

I suppose we are all very "mellow" here, even when the fire alarm 
went off, we all took far longer to react then what most people would.

As for myself, I have always been very calm in the midst of the chaos - 
I know, I'm weird, just ask my wife and kids.

Mark

Interesting. Our operations manual says just the opposite. There's
nothing we have online that's worth loosing ones life over. Besides, in
a major emergency do you think anyone will think to or be willing to go
back and grab the box?
