Data Loss and Backups (Part 1) – Know the Threat

 

As most of you who read my blog know, I tend to view most issues through the lens of a career spent in military aviation.  It was drilled into my head many times as a young aircrew that I needed to have more than a passing understanding of how the survivability equipment on my aircraft worked.  The purpose for this was that, at the end of the day, it was MY butt that was in THAT ejection seat, and so I had to be the last line of defense to make sure everything would work as I expected should I need to depart the aircraft rapidly!
