Re: NARA Looks to Recover Data From Hurricane-Damaged Computers

[Drsolly <drsollyp () drsolly com>]

Reminds me of a DR I did once.

The guy had his backups in a fireproof safe, thought he'd be fine.

But they had a flood. Salt water. Wrecked his computer, ruined his 
backups.

I took the pancakes out of the jackets, washed them in water, then a bit 
of alcohol, put the pancakes in a new jacket, and successfully recovered 
100%
