(ISF) Re: Is there a nightmare waiting to happen in your sock drawer?

Dear Alnisa, and other esteemed colleagues:

I'm loving this feedback! This is very helpful.

By the way, do we have any attorneys in the house, who'd like to
comment (for legal education purposes only, not constituting legal
counsel, et cetera) on the personal and organizational liability
issues involved in walking around with a nonprofit's backup tapes in
your bag or stowing them in your sock drawer at home? Just curious.

Many thanks and best regards from Deborah

The trade-offs between tape and online services are really changing with the introduction of Amazon's S3 service and the infrastructure that will build up around it (e.g., Jungle Disk). Things are becoming cheap enough that it is attractive to consider online storage as an easy way to provide offsite backup and redundancy, complementing local tape backups.

Corrected link to recommendations on nonprofit backups

In a prior post, I included a link to my web site article on nonprofit backups. Unfortunately, the link created didn't work. YOu had to cut and paste multiple lines into the browser address to make it work.

Below is a tiny url link to my article
