That's more the Westside and the Cascades. We're in the SE corner.
But earthquake is a possibility, not a large one and our building is
short with the machine room underground.
Also, I don't get to make the choices on which disasters are a
priority, than come from higher up. They've, for better or worse, said
that for this go around on DR, a location across campus is good enough.
We may be looking a placing a VTS with LTO off the tail end of the
proposed mirrored dasd and shipping the LTO tapes to another location.
And, as always, we won't be funded as well as we'd like for a truly
reliable solution.
