I like your post. Everything you’ve said makes sense.
What wrangles me is technology does not keep up the “old system” for back-ups in case of a major fail.
Did you hear about Arizon? They lost all i-net communcations because some a$$hole$ went out in the middle of the freakin’ desert with a backhoe in nowheresbille and cut the freaking cables.
It’s not widely publicized YET because the initial report was tryin to minimize the situation by calling the situation “vandalism”.
It could be a terrorist act.
Why has everyone ditched the most solid backups they could have = tell me why...
Because keeping those old backups operational requires time and resources. Do you have a horse in your garage in case your car won’t start?
