    You people are acting like you’re going to have to deliver a tape to a “secure offsite location.” Lol. Whoa whoa whoa. Cmon now. Let’s settle down.

      Acting? Delivering backups to secure sites is a standard process and very mundane.

      Not everything can go over the internet, due to security concerns or sheer size.

        Just backing you up, yeah… Physically taking tape backups to a secure offsite location is one of those best practices.

        Hell, my personal back ups for my server are stored redundantly on one of my parents file servers. Same for their stuff on my server.

        If there is a big enough disaster that both our servers locations are rendered damaged from it, we got bigger problems than a server, like a massive metroplex getting razed.
