Read this on another list. A sad tale of lost data despite the person's having two methods of backing up. Murphy's Law truly exists
"I went on vacation and upon return the server storing the file "died" because of a defective hard disk rendering the data inaccessible. At the same time, believe it or or not, the backup NAS storage device (4 hd, raid w/parity) suffered a physical defect also rendering the backup data inaccessible. The data on the server is gone for good, as the drive is fatally dead,non repairable and beyond any hope. The NAS backup has hope left"
And, fortunately, maybe 'only' 2-3 months of data is gone since the file was sent 2-3 months ago to someone else to work with.
So, it may not be enough to have two backups after all, particularly not of essential data.
