Dear Colleagues Here at St Mary's we are thinking about the advice we give to users about securing their data. In particular we are concerned about data loss in the event of a system crash. We currently backup every 24 hours by tape. If anyone is willing to share how you mitigate this with users and alert them to the possibility of data loss we would be grateful Regards Martin.
