Good article here: http://www.baselinemag.com/print_article2/0,1217,a=17022,00.asp -----Original Message----- From: WereTiger [mailto:weretiger () weretiger ca] Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2006 4:22 PM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Definition of 'Geographically independent' in terms of offsite backup storage In looking over the policies of a contract I've been put on, the critical stress has been put on data security and retention. They currently use offsite storage by swapping tapes between their two buildings which are only 15km (9 miles) apart. Is that enough? How is that any safer than a good fireproof vault? -WereTiger --------------------------------------------------------------------------- EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINE The Norwich University program offers unparalleled Infosec management education and the case study affords you unmatched consulting experience.
