Doubt it. Probably a bonus instead. Why anyone trusts goggle is beyond me.

And the IT guy in UniSuper who thought they needed a third backup, independent of Google, needs a pay rise. He saved that fund's arse.

UniSuper's data wasn't restored by Google. It was restored from a third party backup source. Google deleted UniSuper's backup and also deleted it's backup of the backup.

A while ago here an explosion destroyed the building that housed the data set up for a Council. OK we planned for that and have a back up emergency facility ready for this.

Maybe the plans were not as good as they thought. The back up facility was at the other end of the same building that had been destroyed.

Now who would have thought it was a good idea to have the original and back up facility in the same building.?????

Certainly not a bank, I worked for a bank and our backup site was about 30km's away on the other side of town and also in a basement. In those days the mag tapes would leave the main site at 6pm in a small delivery vehicle when I would leave work as we had to provide site coverage 6am to 6pm, as an electro/hvac/mech expert along with a mainframe tech and an auxiliary devices tech for tape readers and tape robot.

Someone's pride and joy being taken to Moreton Island on the ex-trawler, the 'Margaret C'.

She was once owned by the Markwell Fisheries owner and then by Ken Brown of 'Coastwatch' fame.

Is that a young Scary, sitting in the back?

Here you go all you tractor buffs(me included). It has been reported elsewhere that Harry Ferguson has erupted from his RIP.
