There's a new report out about Ohio's lost backup tape. It says: One of the unfortunate ironies of this theft is that OAKS administrators allowed callow
interns to take home backup tapes in order to protect the data in the event of a disaster at
the OAKS facility and to save money. Ironies? or stupidities? It's smart to move your backups off-site to protect your data from loss. It's stupid to do it in an insecure way, because that fails to protect it from exposure. Ohioans want their data protected from both loss and exposure. (via Jim.)
