How true but people put to much 'faith' in the damm things. I work on SQL databases and had one customer (a big international firm) that backed up to tape every night. They even checked the log to make sure that it was ok. It's a pity they didn't scroll down to see that the last set failed every night for four months!!! I got £2K for half a days work restoring the databases they lost £20M a day whilst they tried to work out why the backups would not restore! Alan
