Isn't this the time where you put stuff on tape and store it somewhere outside of physical reach? Is tape even used anymore?


Yep, I'm not involved at all but I believe my workplace does its offsite backups on tape with a service like Iron Mountain http://www.ironmountain.com/Services/Data-Management/Tape-Va...


A patient disgruntled admin would have altered the backups to write garbage to the tapes for however long the rotation cycle is, then kicked off the production melee.
