In Reply to: Separate backups remain advisable... posted by Tony Lauck on May 15, 2009 at 10:03:35:
The problem with backups is maintaining a regular schedule. Unless you are extremely diligent - a poorly maintained backup schedule is not much better than no backups. Tell me Tony, do you religiously maintain offsite backups that are no more than a day old? Almost no one I know have the time to do this.
*** Unless the physical replacas are located at multiple sites ***
That's what VPN is for (and I covered this in my previous post). If you don't trust the security of replication over VPN, don't bank your money with any major bank, because they all use this very same method to replicate data to branches. Even ATMs, which used to be on a proprietary OS and network, now run XP/Vista and use VPN to connect to servers.
*** An additional factor to consider is the lock-in to M$. ***
That's interesting, because most of my PCs multiboot into XP, Vista, Linux and MacOS and they have no problems participating in the domain.
*** And you won't know if all this "magic" is really good until something actually fails. ***
It's the same "magic" that is currently in use in major corporations, and it's pretty much tested. In my case, over the course of 7 years, almost every hard disk I used at the beginning have been replaced by now, with no loss of data, and many of the systems (including both the domain controllers) have also been replaced. I have even suffered a PC contaminated by a virus (to the extent it damaged my 0404 USB to the point it no longer worked) and yet I lost no data (I just immediately rebuilt the PC without bothering rescuing anything currently in it).
