37.0. "reply to 1.0" by CSSE32::MERMELL (Tastevin en Main) Thu Jan 26 1989 21:45

(I couldn't reply to 1.0 because the note is write locked)

The DECwindows_old conference hasn't shown up yet.  Will it
be here soon?

> we ended up without a tape drive.  Thus the latest backup is fairly old.

Can we expect that backups in the future will be handled
in a professional manner?  There are other ways to back up a file 
than using a local tape drive.  Because of the nature of X and
DEC windows, many people have to ask many questions, and this notes
file has been extremely vaulable.  I'm always very shocked when I
learn of a valuable resource not being backed up.  I recently read
of "years of research destroyed by a PC computer virus."  I've never
heard of a virus that can destroy a backup floppy locked in a filing
cabinet.

I'd recommend system management look into using RSM.
