But we all know that auditors are there to stab the wounded after the battle has been fought.
I used to use tapes for nightly backups and weekend. Had to manually rotate the tapes and backups every night went to about 330 am. This time was shortened from 1205 to 330 to 1205 to 1220 am. Additionally I have brms manage my journals to. This process is totally automated. Now I look for two emails. One that says the system went down for backup and the other when it came backup . Life is good.
I now can recover the entire system back to the previous 15 minutes.

Subject: RE: BRMS IFS save start and end times - IFS locks
I'm sure that many people have said:
Our auditors insist on punched cards!
How can you output to tape or disk and trust that when you can't
physically see the holes?
But I have all this lighting all set up to make it easier to read punched
cards, I would have to change my whole set up to go to something new!
I know that if I hold this punched card up to my light I'll see this hole
in this same spot, if the job worked. That's very fast for me. Tape and
disk can't possibly be as fast or useful.
I just spent a ton of money on new racks to hold card decks. I can't
possibly get the funding to buy tapes, get a tape drive, etc.
Our third party tool only supports card readers.
