I’ve seen the same thing at enough client offices to stop being surprised: a folder full of backup files. Dozens of them. Stacked neatly. The sizes are impressive. Terabytes of data, collected over years, sitting in a folder that hasn’t been opened since the person who set it up left.

They had backups, right? In a manner of speaking.

Let me ask you a question. When was the last time you actually restored from one?
