Oh I have lots of backups. The critical files are backed up off site. The simple fact that so much of the customer data is giant files. I just checks. One recent small project is 49.9 GB of data in total. Some of the files are the results of 24 hours of data processing to get that final result set of files to send to the client.
It was a roadway project. It shows a 1000 feet from center-line in each direction, and it is just 4.5 miles long. And that is essentially 50 GB to store. I don't want my backup software to decide to start backing up the backup copies on it's own.
I have a file on Quicken that I have been using since 1989. That same file is what I use every time I open Quicken. Yea, I could delete some of the data from the former millennium, but why bother.
Th real point, is that one file (and lots of others) have not been lost into cyber space. I know lots of people can't keep a computer file for more than a few years without a major catastrophic loss of files. I will readily admit, I have not had a house fire or disaster that wipes out lots of people.
