Off site backups.
Jul. 22nd, 2010 12:04 amMakes me want to scream.
Repeated major movie plot hole.
Assuming you can go to one building and destroy all of somebody's data.
Companies have continuously maintained backups in other cities for things like this. Well, mostly for natural disasters and fires and things, not protagonists.
They have business continuity plans too. One city falls down, people regroup in another city with the data restored. And with any kind of money behind them they have an entirely redundant branch in another city that doesn't need waiting to regroup.
I know that if greater Boston gets nuked today, the company I work for headquartered there will be fully operational tomorrow in another city. It's just basic responsible business practice.
I really need to get around to doing this with my own data. Anybody want to let me stick a computer in your house and use some of your bandwidth in the middle of the night? Maybe an exchange?
