I’m out of the loop.on the latest technology, but, I remember a time when we did backups on our systems, and IT guys backed up the network.
The idea was that everything could be restored from.backup tapes and files if needed.
Do things work differently today? Is it a mot more complicated than simply restoring the backed up data to the system?
Honestly, if the tapes or systems are never tested, 95% chance they wouldn’t have been any good anyways.
Tape drives are known to just stop working and some back up software wasn’t that good anyways
