The same applies to data. Your enterprise data backups need to be as safe as in a vault, and you must be sure that, in case of disaster strikes, you will be able to recover your data in a short period, and your company will be back in business as if nothing has happened....

My mom took a bunch of us on a couple road trips to Florida. She’d heard horror stories about the ride from various aunts and uncles.
