Sounds good to me... when I contacted Sistina about commercial support
for LVM, Mr. Heinz seemed genuinely surprised that I took proper
backups. "But that's my job!" Perhaps that's why I have such a job...
My father had his laptop stolen recently and the hard drive that was
supposed to have been ordered for its docking station, was line-item
vetoed by a member of the IT staff at his hospital. Needless to say,
said IT guy is now looking for work, and I would not hire him :-)
Incremental backups are orthogonal to true high availability, but you're
guaranteed to have low availability if you have no disaster recovery
plans. I wish there were a more succinct way to express that!
